So if you know me at all, you probably know that I don't swear. In fact, I could count on one hand the number of times I've said a swear word out loud. Included is that one time when I was about 18-years-old and I was driving in my car by myself and I wanted to hear what the "F" word sounded like coming from me. So I said it. It took me like 8 miles to convince myself to say it though. It didn't come easy. And then I made myself listen to John Bytheway for the next 30 miles. That was punishment enough so that I'll never do it again.
Anyways, so there are a few cases where I feel like it's ok to say (or write) a swear word.
1. When you're referring to extremely cold weather.
2. When you're referring to extremely idiotic people.
3. When you're explaining what you don't like about Stephanie Meyer's book The Host.

The Host? Really? Swear words? Come on.
I liked The Host.....what the heck is your problem?
At times I think a little swear word here or there makes a comment extremely funny....
Tenants get lots of swear words....oh wait! They fit in that idiotic category...got it.
My husband might want to disown me because of it, but I agree. Besides, "hell" is only a swear word in Utah (unfortunately, that's where I currently live...). Oh, it's also okay to swear when working with animals.
I have let a few swear words go when I have talked to a couple friends/coworkers about our boss or the 6th grade teachers (whom I use to work with). Sometimes there are not strong enough words...that are not swear words to describe...and yet, I am NOT a swearer...this is what my workplace has brought me to
You must hate being my friend. I swear like 20 times a day. I didn't even notice that you said hell.
Actually Kate I don't mind. It's a habit I'm trying to pick up. :)
