[QUOTE="hb712, post: 12226217, member: 42038"] You're making a variety of assumptions about people who use this type of language. At no point did I suggest that any language should be used as "senseless filler" or that speech should be dominated by vulgarity. You may notice that in my concession, which you clearly didn't understand, I cited an extreme type of speech. I said that people with small vocabularies "almost exclusively" use foul language to illustrate their points. In no way have I suggested that anyone should emulate people who cannot convey ideas without swearing. Your assumptions rest on the misplaced belief that people who swear are somehow below those who do not, in a variety of ways. Beyond that, you've jumped to the conclusion that those of us who have dirty mouths just swear near constantly. If I have misrepresented your beliefs or assumptions, it is only because you have failed to properly convey your true ideas on the subject (and you didn't even use any foul language!). P.S. Here's a very short list of people I know who swear about as much as I do. College president A few partners of large law firms (one named partner) Pastor with a Ph.D. Pastor Emeritus, also with a Ph.D. President of a Fortune 500 company (along with the COO who swears like a sailor) [/QUOTE]
