I am age 54, and was always taught by my parents not to use curse words.  And so I do not use them at all.

When I first met DH (back in our 20's), he used to use curse words occasionally.  But I noticed that he stopped (without my asking him), just because he noticed that I do not speak that way.

I am pretty happy to see that our kids (ages 19 and 21) do not use curse words at all, at least around us.  I am so glad about that.  I have mentioned to them that using curse words in the workplace is thought of as pretty vulgar and low-class.  (I base this on 30 years of working in a large corporation, in upper management.)

A few years ago, we invited a new neighbor over for dinner, and he started saying f-this and f-that, just as part of his regular conversation.  I really kind of just wanted to end the evening.  I didn't say anything, but my DH kind of just said "well, it's been a nice evening, thank you so much for coming over."  I was kind of touched that DH probably realized that this was not fun.  I guess that my neighbor may have grown up in a household where using curse words was normal, and has not realized that it may not be serving him.[/quote]
