Using Profanity Can Make You Sound Ignorant Have
you ever heard of the saying, "She curses like a
sailor? Profanity is almost everywhere. It
seems as if people do not know how to use proper
English anymore. Is it something that is supposed
to make us sound more sophisticated, or to shock
or offend people? Profanity is defined as the use
of abusive, vulgar or irreverent language. When
speaking privately or publicly, is there any
reason to have abusive speech? Is there any rhyme
or reason for using such unnecessary, ignorant
words that are used by people? There is no need
for it, it's disrespectful to yourself and the
people you speak to. What are the benefits of
such improper speech? Profanity can be referred
to as swear words, curse words, dirty words, four
letter words. In one of its surveys Zoomerang
(www.zoomerang.com) asked people the following
question "Has workplace profanity increased over
the last five years? Here are a few answers A
A profane expression communicates a low
threshold for managing difficult circumstances.
It raises issues about the effectiveness of that
person's style of communication. B Well placed
profanity has it's purpose, if used sparingly to
get a person's attention or in a humorous
situation." C It really depends on how they
said it and in what context but I still think
it's very unprofessional and tasteless. D "I
find it boring and an indication of limited use
of vocabulary and intelligence and a lack of
courtesy toward others." E "I do not like any
person who has to swear a lot to express
themselves." F " I do not think it is proper for
anyone to use profanity. It is crass and belies
poor education, bad upbringing, and probable
emotional problems and difficulties relating to
people." G "If you can't express yourself
without cursing, you may be lacking social
skills." H A major culprit is television. Do I
have to be insulted right here in my own home?.
I'm not going to pay 54 for cable and listen to
that garbage. But I feel it's not a lost cause.
If people say, Look I don't want you talking that
way, if they demand it, it's going to
change." Most people I have asked not to use that
language, they try to watch it around me and if
they do curse, they do have enough manners to
say, Excuse me." They, however, do not get that
it sounds so disgusting and ignorant to use such
language. So they will continue to talk like that
because that is all that they know. I can see the
most handsome man or a beautiful woman, but if
they open their mouth and all comes out is
profanity it takes away from their looks and
personality. I lose something for them right
then. Young people do not seem to be offended by
profanity. Profanity is used by their peers, it
is on the music videos they watch and listen to,
the games they play, the movies they watch. Young
people are bombarded by profanity. Regardless of
what people think using profanity is
disrespectful, it is not using proper
communication skills and just sounds ignorant. I
will try not to ever disrespect you the reader by
using such disrespectful language. If you see
yourself as someone who respects themselves, that
means you never use such useless unnecessary
words. Published by Zenovia Barksdale
