Why Is It Wrong To "Cuss"?

Profanity is often referred to as mature language. Yet I've heard children use these words. Are these kids more mature than their peers? Hardly. It is immature language because:

--cussers don't care if they bother people
(in this, they are on a level with people who pass gas, loudly chew gum, or burp in public),

--cussers don't have the vocabulary to express themselves properly, or they're too lazy to try,

--cussers usually don't even use profane words according to their definitions, and

--cussers often trivialize and disrespect the names and the titles of the awesome and wonderful Lord of Lords.

I don't misuse the names of your loved ones; please don't do so to the one I love more than anyone else.
