Swearing is informal and rude to bring up in everyday conversation. It's something you say with poeple you know very well and should not be said in the public.

Swears and words of taboo have been around for so long, but swears usually generalize somebody of being lower and not as proper.

There's two different "types" of English. There's Saxon and one other Latin-type version... One was only used by the upperclass and the other is used by everybody else. That's sort of how swears formed, kind of. We were just going over this in English class the other day and I think it's interesting.

Language is ALWAYS changing, so someday the words we say now become swears or will slowly become extinct words.

Though everybody swears today (regardless of class), I still think it's an innopropriate thing to do in public, at least. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it, is how I think of swearing.


Thanks for reading!
