Some people don’t want to come off as really crass and aggressive. I don’t understand why people get so offended by polite language. It’s not a religious thing, plenty of religious people swear up a storm.

My dad was in the army, so he was no stranger to swearing. My parents weren’t strict or religious when I was growing up. I just didn’t like how harsh and, frankly, how stupid swears sounded, so I decided not to use them.

People like to say “you can swear on the internet”, but just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it. The people on the internet are every bit as real as people off the internet and words can cause a whole lot of hurt. Why not make the internet a more friendly and inviting place?

Does it really hurt anyone that this person edited this post to match their personality better? Why is this even a big deal?
