2. Using Profanity Can Make You Sound Ignorant Have you ever heard of the saying, "She curses like a sailor?„ Profanity is almost everywhere. It seems as if people do not know how to use proper English anymore. Is it something that is supposed to make us sound more sophisticated, or to shock or offend people? Profanity is defined as the use of abusive, vulgar or irreverent language. When speaking privately or publicly, is there any reason to have abusive speech? Is there any rhyme or reason for using such unnecessary, ignorant words that are used by people? There is no need for it, it's disrespectful to yourself and the people you speak to. What are the benefits of such improper speech? Profanity can be referred to as swear words, curse words, dirty words, four letter words. In one of its surveys Zoomerang (www.zoomerang.com) asked people the following question: "Has workplace profanity increased over the last five years?„www.zoomerang.com Here are a few answers: A: „A profane expression communicates a low threshold for managing difficult circumstances. It raises issues about the effectiveness of that person's style of communication.“ B: „Well placed profanity has it's purpose, if used sparingly to get a person's attention or in a humorous situation." C: „It really depends on how they said it and in what context but I still think it's very unprofessional and tasteless.“ D: "I find it boring and an indication of limited use of vocabulary and intelligence and a lack of courtesy toward others." E: "I do not like any person who has to swear a lot to express themselves." F: " I do not think it is proper for anyone to use profanity. It is crass and belies poor education, bad upbringing, and probable emotional problems and difficulties relating to people." G: "If you can't express yourself without cursing, you may be lacking social skills." H: „A major culprit is television. Do I have to be insulted right here in my own home?. I'm not going to pay $54 for cable and listen to that garbage. But I feel it's not a lost cause. If people say, Look I don't want you talking that way, if they demand it, it's going to change." Most people I have asked not to use that language, they try to watch it around me and if they do curse, they do have enough manners to say, „Excuse me." They, however, do not get that it sounds so disgusting and ignorant to use such language. So they will continue to talk like that because that is all that they know. I can see the most handsome man or a beautiful woman, but if they open their mouth and all comes out is profanity it takes away from their looks and personality. I lose something for them right then. Young people do not seem to be offended by profanity. Profanity is used by their peers, it is on the music videos they watch and listen to, the games they play, the movies they watch. Young people are bombarded by profanity. Regardless of what people think using profanity is disrespectful, it is not using proper communication skills and just sounds ignorant. I will try not to ever disrespect you the reader by using such disrespectful language. If you see yourself as someone who respects themselves, that means you never use such useless unnecessary words.
