I make it a point to seldom curse. My reasons are pretty personal.
I don't think people who use cursing in everyday language are less intelligent or have less verbal skills than people who do not. However, there is a perception that people who curse are less educated and less eloquent which, of course, is not necessarily true.
I think people who use a lot of vulgarity are less respected. I know that when I talk to people and they curse a lot, I find it difficult to focus on what they are actually saying, and focus more on the explicitives. I almost become upset, because I don't talk like that, and I'd rather other people didn't talk directly to me like that.
Most of my close friends have picked up on this, and respect it, which I appreciate.
