Some people I have no control from over. However, if your cussing like a sailor I'm going to ask you to stop.

Some places are less formal so I don't get as upset over it. For instance
I don't tolerate cussing at work but I tolerate it at a bar.

You have zero control over people. Nor should you desire it.
