Swearing in the office

Postby WR1 Bro » Wed Jan 18, 2012 1:33 pm

Is swearing in the office an effective means of clearly communicating or is it a sign of articulation issues?

A good friend of mine has recently picked up the title "potty mouth". His language doesn't bother me but I've wondered if it is the norm in other working environments?

Swearing in the office could be considered slanderous depending on the context :lol:

we have an alternative which can amuse visitors......
e.g

a "C*nt" is a "Canadian"

and a "Fu***ng C*nt" is a "French Canadian"

seems to work well !! :lol: :lol:
