On: Correlation between the use of swearwords and code quality in open source code? [pdf]

Using swear words often, in public settings or without any real distress situation is in my opinion a mark of the uneducated / "bad" upbringing.

Sure, you let some steam out. I understand that but why put in writing?

Let off steam / save mental effort regulating what you say / indicate to the person you are speaking to that you are comfortable being 'unprofessional'

I also know someone who intentionally swears a lot in interviews as a filtering mechanism, that's probably less common though.

It is like yelling in public sometimes you need to do that so you get point across but if do it constantly you are just weird.
