I think people have mis-understood my comment. I never said swearing was bad. Practically every word that comes out my mouth is a swear word. I just don't think swear words in code makes for "beautiful" work. I even have a go at developers for not putting full stops at the end of comments ;)

In addition, it's got nothing to do with working for a large corporation as I work for a small advertising software company with less then twenty employees.
