No one wants to read language that shows ignorance and is offensive to others. The ability to use words effectively shows intelligence and the ability to express oneself in ways other than the use profanity . There are many ways to say things and profanity it just a lack of knowledge and expression. As Shakespeare wrote “ a foolish ear falls silent on a knavish tongue.”
