Is swearing bad language?
BBC guidelines say:
"language that causes most offence includes
sexual swearwords,
terms of racist abuse,
terms of sexual and sexist abuse or abuse referring to sexuality,
pejorative terms relating to illness or disabilities,
casual or derogatory use of holy names or religious words,
words for defecation
Swearing is said to have started as "a form of 'word magic', connected to religion, in early civilisations. People were more likely to believe in divine beings who had the power to punish them. So people called on divine beings in order to curse people they didn't like. http://www.putlearningfirst.com/language/13reg/swearing.html
