I cry every time someone uses the f-word in their writing for no apparent reason.

I'd rather read "fuck" than "f-word". The latter is like eating dumplings for lent because surely $deity won't see the meat in there.

Cultured people have no need for such words in public discourse so I'd rather not see either of them or the need. People are judged by the words they use.

Cultured people? I'd certainly argue that words which people feel are "uncultured" strictly DO have a use case.

It's as if you're saying "smart people only color inside the lines." Take a step back.

The usage of those words is to accurately convey the speaker's emotion. If you don't see any use in that then that's your problem.
