Have curse words become so common they lost their shock value?<\/p>\n

Curse words are supposed to be used when angry, but too many people use them in every sentence. Those words make them sound unintelligent and unprofessional. Using curse words isn\u2019t cool; it\u2019s actually really annoying and rude.<\/p>\n

Too many people use foul language in their everyday conversations. Many of the students, and sometimes the teachers, use curse words at school. Those kinds of words are immature, especially when you are in a professional place.<\/p>\n

If you use curse words in a professional setting such as a job interview, the person doing the interview will think that you are unintelligent by the way you speak.<\/p>\n

Some people think curse words are just a normal part of our language, and they use them in their day-to-day lifestyles. What those people don\u2019t know is that curse words have a true meaning, which isn\u2019t just used in normal conversations.<\/p>\n

The words shouldn\u2019t be used at all, but if they are used, they ought to be used when in pain or angry.<\/p>\n

To resolve this issue with cursing, schools and jobs should prohibit using foul language. This may reduce the amount of people cursing, because a lot of people are afraid to be in trouble.<\/p>\n

If it is a personal issue you have with yourself, try using substitutes like \u201coh fudge\u201d or \u201cdang it.\u201d You will eventually start getting used to those instead of the curse words.<\/p>\n

If that technique doesn\u2019t work, then every time you say a curse word, snap your wrist with a rubber band. The pain will cause negative reinforcement to help you stop cursing\u2026 or make you curse more.<\/p>\n

Curse words today have become so frequently used that they have lost their meaning. People use them way too often. If you start cursing constantly, then remember this: It\u2019s unprofessional, annoying, and rude.<\/p>\n
