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.
