It feels infantile and childish to me when grown ass adults use cutie wootie wordy cursies to get around speaking like humans.

    I guess I understand doing it around children, but I also think children swearing is hilarious, so...

    I probably swear less since having kids and use more non-swearing expletives ("flipping heck", "crikey" etc.) in real life speech. Some of that inevitably bleeds into how I write online even though it's not directed at kids, just because language is habit-forming.

    But I really, really hate the "f--k" thing. Either swear or don't. Swearing like you're trying to get one over on teacher is weird.

    Who cares if they even are, who the fuck are you to prevent them from speaking how they want to

    I didn't prevent anyone from sounding stupid.

    I'll have to admit it doesn't sound great and fair, I assumed you were actively against people saying this like some other in the comments
