I live in England. Swearing is like a second language here. It may as well be taught in schools in replacement of French.. Everyone does it here. I guess some might feel apprehensive about it at first but it just becomes integrated into your everyday vocab by the time you've hit 16. I guess it's a way of letting of steam without actually taking on much attention.. But some people seriously over use it. All in all living where I live sounds like being constantly hooked up to a dodgy COD team on Xbox Live.
