No. There are plenty of words in the dictionary that are perfectly capable of providing emphasis and or description.

Besides, people who need to say [snip] every time they open their mouths have a serious problem.

I have recently started making a conscious effort not to. I live a fairly isolated existence, and sometimes forget that in public people prefer to maintain a certain decorum. I think it is less about political correctness or censorship and more about maintaining an atmosphere of calm and peace, because that's what most find comfortable.

I can respect that, and honestly I don't mind adapting my speech patterns. Sometimes there is that obvious pause, but I will frequently come up with something far more interesting and articulate to say in place of whatever would otherwise have sprung from mind to mouth.

Even back in the days when I played Call of Duty, I didn't cuss when I lost a match. Usually stuck to free-for-all modes too because I never needed to rely on others to not perform as well as me, and then get really frustrated and look for others to blame. Perhaps it was because I rarely lost, and I always thought it was hilarious when someone always did rage outloud through my TV speakers when I beat them. This made me realize thad following suite was unnecessary. With that said, Call of Duty's community is a lot more toxic in general than ESO's community is. (I was very, very good at Call of Duty)
(MW2, BO1, AW. I was very well-known in the Xbox 360 Black Ops 1 community)

I like to have fun and not stress out when I run content in ESO! Cussing just isn't how I usually react when I die, and when it is I am not angry. The only way I can get frustrated when playing a game is if I run the same content (trial) with a group that will not change strategies to succeed until an eventual disband after 4+ hrs of wasted time failing.... -_-

Keep profanity in house or among close friends if cursing is considered part of your primary language. It can be viewed as un-professional in other environments and will likely offend many, especially when social media/communication are often misunderstood or misinterpreted. You may be just joking, but others may not see it as that. Especially during guildchats, there are times when some are just outright vile with their language.. definitely not suitable to post. However, these are normally good folks, and they are overall comfortable with each others and can take it as a joke, but sometimes they are forgetting that newer members are joining and may not see it as such. There were some that left, I'm sure because of the profaned language.

In my opinion.. to foster a respectable and well-rounded environment for all, keep it in-house, and not in public or social media. I have been around a long time in a work environment with a large group of mainly guys who work well together, are comfortable with each others, and cursing seems to be acceptable among these all males group environment. However, they all know better to refrain while in public or among other groups of people, especially among children or older generation. This makes them professionals and human as well. I, myself, being considered the leadership or manager type, have to uphold a more professional demeanor than the others. Granted, I am a guy and human, and I curse the hell out of day, during a vMA try or other difficult aspects of ESO, but this is in my house. If I had children, I would likely watch my language quite closely. In public or among those guys, I rarely curse or use profanity.
