Weird indeed. American programs on TV are often so annoying when all the "F-words" are bleeped out. Whenever someone strikes his finger with a hammer or whatever you can hear a bleep from three rooms away. Yeah sure now we'll never know what he said and our poor souls are saved from this profanity. It gets even funnier when the mouth is also blurred out.
And many of us Americans say "fuck" on a daily basis. Your point?
At work to your colleagues?
If i may butt in: Yes. Many times with clients too. Just this week I was in a meeting with project managers and consultants from GE, Honeywell, Prysmian and Schneider electric and it was as if everyone was trying to one up each other on the 'fuck' count.
Exactly this. When a fucking router half-breaks at the colo and takes down our sites instead of failing over, we do use such language.
