    Hahaha. I’m a teacher. It is better to err on the side of caution. Never know when I’m actually sleep-typing an email and forget to be cordial.

    It’s more about self-discipline and self-awareness rather than self-censorship. The self-censorship kicks in when I’m in the classroom, and some kid feels the need to act a damn fool.

      Surely just don’t use the swears at all if you want to be cautious? I doubt it’s any less professional to type “f*ck” in a work email rather than “fuck”!

        I curse in my sleep typing. And, I surely don’t use the swears in my professional moments.

        It takes curse words to get some people’s attention or to confirm that I am not a robot. Whenever we get to the point that open, honest, civil conversation is once again the norm, I won’t use them.
