This is what I don't understand, but I do thank you for chiming in as a minority-opinion holder in this thread.
Why do you think not swearing brings you closer to perfection, though? What's dumb about swearing? Are there not circumstances where the sh-word or f-word are the most appropriate words to use and any other word isn't the perfect fit? Did your parents not swear and you were raised thinking it was super taboo or bad?
