When I talk to people such language is never used. Not by me, not by others.
I only hear swearing on the BBC.
I find the use of the s word in films and on the BBC appalling.
For example, I started to watch the following programme.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b … -episode-1
There is s-word vulgarity in the first 90 seconds.
Was the s word necessary?
Does the BBC have a policy that drama must include the s word?
Some time ago I watched the first episode of a drama about autism. About 40 minutes a character, not anyone purported as being autistic, used the s word.
Do people go around talking like that in their everyday lives?
I consider that standards are important in society and that it is not silly to bother about such things.
I never use the toned-down terms that Jack mentioned either.
