Swearwords increasingly used for emphasis and to build social bonds, rather than to insult, say academics

Why have you chosen this hill to die on? Swearing harms no one, and makes talking more fun. I honestly take an aversion to swearing as a sign of immaturity.

The fact that you resort to swearing is immature. I ask the people I'm around to not swear and the people that know me know my thoughts on swearing.

Resort? That's a weird way to put it. I don't even think about swearing. Sometimes "fuck" is just the perfect word for the job. Hell, pretty often it is, because the word "fuck" is so versatile. Nothing beats the literal poetry of a well placed word, and face it man sometimes that word is "fuck". Fuck fuck fuck
