So now class is determined by manners?
There is a tactful way of going about things. If you're suggesting class as in sophistication, which really has no direct link to finance, regardless that it statistically usually does, then there is still a tactical way of swearing without coming off as uncouth.

I think we can limit this topic to the English speaking world.
Swearing is the antithesis of "good manners" so if you swear a lot, indeed you will be seen as having poor manners. Fair or not, that is reality in most of the English-speaking world. Just as if you hold your fork like a baseball bat or don't say "excuse me" if you bump into someone.
