If you don’t want to swear, don’t swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to “f*ck” doesn’t accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like “!@#*”, now you’re just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn’t you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

What if I don’t “not want to swear”, what if I want to used self-censored curse words? Should I sacrifice my freedom of speech to appease others?

  What is your point? You don’t want to swear, but you don’t not want to swear either? Maybe sort out your beliefs then.

    I’ve got my beliefs sorted, I want to be able to express myself however I choose. Including using censored curse words if I so choose.
    
    And my point is, as I’ve said a few times, that I find it funny how censorship has gone from “polite” to “offensive”.
