I used to curse much more than I do these days. I was one Tony Soprano when it comes to cussing, but eventually I realized something... English isn't my native language, and I did my cursing in English. I did not fully realize the occasional offensiveness of those words because they did not sound like cuss words to me. Once I translated them to myself in my head and asked myself if I would say the same in Finnish (my native language), the answer was no. The word "motherfucker" doesn't sound so bad to me in English, but the Finnish translation raises my eyebrows.
