For those of you who still think swearing makes you cool......

"People who casually use profanity and vulgarities to pepper their speech are often perceived as abrasive and lacking character, maturity, intelligence, manners, and emotional control."

I think maybe I'm feeling especially cynical and unable to control things today.

the prose clearly uses "often perceived" to imply that there is more to the argument. If i didnt know any better, i would say some uniditified (and thereby unreliable) author of this quote would be saying that perhaps while it may seem that they are "abrazive and lacking character," they are in fact including a sence of emotional attatchment to the phrase (swear words are held in a more emotionally afftected area of the brain than typical vocabulary.)
Not to mention that according to Jonathan D Bellman, the stylistic excess (over use of big boy words) regularly "dulls the reader's sences with its procession of highly charged, multisyllabic words. There is also a subtly confrontational undercurrent: to oppose the authors evaluation would be to stand up and defend 'ranting hyperbole and excruciating cacophony.' None of it is necesary, and it is noteworthy that no actual proof is often offered" (Bellman, A Short Guide to Writing about Music edition 2, 76)

If anyone is curious. I just got a foreworded email trying to boycotte the My Friend Flicka movie, because someone reportedly witnessed horse abuse in the filming of the movie. So i ripped the email apart just to make you feel better
