What the %&$#!? To Swear or Not to Swear

I think it depends on subject of blog or post. If it is something from real life swearing is ok if it is not excessive. On the other hand, if it is a blog about some kind of professional subject i think swearing is out of order.

Usually I try not to swear on my blog, but sometimes I just can't stop myself :)

I tend to save my swearing for my personal blog. Actually I think the amount of swearing I do on my personal blog is enough so that every blog on the net doesn't have to swear! :-O

Now I have to say I hate the term "curse like a Sailor" since I am one and not all of us curse, but I do think it is taste-less to do so and shows your lack of range of the English language when that's all one can do. I like your blog though :-)

No, I do not think that anyone should use bad word. You should speak like you would face to face. Most people I know will not keep company with people who cuss all the time or even at them. Delete them like you would walk away if, someone were to cuss at you. Do not bring yourself down to their level.

What a [CENSORED]!!

Are you [CENSORED]? Tia?!

[Yosemite Sam Interlude]! Really, though.

You need to get John Sullivan from Bloggerluv over there to throw his two cents in. He might drop an F bomb or two over there. - Whatever you do, don't get him fired up.

I swear on my blog occassionally if it is appropriate to the context of the post. I don't think using "high octane" curse words is appropriate to my blog although I have read some blogs where the language is part of the blogger's schtick so it works. I don't feel that vulgarity is ever necessary and I will usually cross a blogger off my list if i find there content or language to be crass or juvenile.

Hi Tia,

I rarely swear on my blog, never in writing. Sometimes one cuss word flies out when I am shooting a particularly passionate video. This is like a few times in over 470 videos.

Unless it's properly placed a curse word adds little value to your post. Use them selectively and only if you feel they add a little extra oomph to your posts without sacrificing good taste.

I have big distaste for swearing, wherever it may be.

I think many bloggers hide behind it because they are afraid that without swearing their readers might find them too blend.

I don't read bloggers that have a need to do that.

Tia,

I guess certain words like s*** or a** is okay to be funny, but I don't think it would be good for anyone to use profanity if the post is trying to prove a point or presenting an idea.
