I will say that when I've heard it in a song they've (forgotten it's a lyric) played for me, I'll tell them it's a sign to others of low education and a poor vocabulary.[/quote]

Ok, it’s not a sign of low education or a poor vocabulary. You’ve got nothing to back that up.   It’s a word that’s commonly used by all types of people. [/quote]

We teach our children that not all vocabulary is appropriate with all audiences, and the f word is not appropriate at home (among many other places like at work, with older generations, at teachers, etc).

Also it isn’t so much that it is low class and unintelligent, but anytime someone overuses a filler word it diminishes their message.  If someone said “like” twice in every sentence it makes you cringe a bit.  The f word is like that too, it can become a linguistic crutch and is highly inappropriate in some settings so better not to develop a bad habit.

Also, rarely will people notice if you don’t use profanity, but people may notice in a negative way if you do, so why bother when the English language is rich with other descriptive words.[/quote]
