Swearing

I admit it.  I swear.  A lot.  It's almost impossible to stop myself. Most of the time, (ok, all of the time), it's unnecessary.

Perhaps it's not exactly my fault.  It's fair to say that swearing is all around me.  The more I hear it, the more I do it myself.

This article proves it.  Washington, DC, the city where I live is the NUMBER ONE city for swearing in the country.  Validation!

Then again, swearing makes us all look bad.  According to the article,
 " Eighty-one percent of managers say excessive cursing makes people seem immature or unprofessional. About 71 percent worry about lack of control, and 54 percent say it makes the employee appear less intelligent."
