Of course I swear. Freely, and often. I swear with my friends, I swear on social media. Sometimes I even swear at inanimate objects when they displease me by interacting negatively with my natural clumsiness. Swearing is one of life’s great joys.
But I don’t swear on here. I don’t swear when I’m writing something for work. I wouldn’t swear in a job interview or while representing my employer. When I’ve worked in customer facing roles, I never swore at them, even when being on the receiving end of extreme rudeness. There are many, many instances where I won’t swear. Not because I don’t want to, but because the context of the situation makes it inappropriate, either because it would cause offence, or because it is explicitly against the rules. This is not some rare and braggable skill that I have. Moderating your behaviour depending on the context is a very basic skill that the vast majority of people manage to learn and master without ever even thinking about it.
I’m certain, as you say, that my daughter has a well developed arsenal of swear words which she can choose to deploy whenever she wants. But she has never sworn in front of me. She’s never sworn in front of her teachers, or any other grown up that I know of. Because, as I said in the post quoted above, this is a really basic thing that people learn at a very young age.
If someone is swearing in a situation where it’s either not appropriate or not allowed, it’s generally because they’re making a choice to do it. Barring developmental issues and specific neurological conditions, people have control over whether they swear or not. Given this, it’s extremely hard to sympathise with any driver for getting a severe punishment. They know it’s not allowed. They know it’ll have consequences. Yet they do it anyway.
Well, they get what they get.
