} I don't think that is fair to say.
} Swear words are meant to hurt.

     Not necessarily.  Some people use them as filler words and
insert them randomly into otherwise peaceful conversations.
Personally I think they have no place in pretty much any conversation
(and definitely no place where professional decorum is expected)
and demonstrate a lack of intelligence on the part of the user (or,
at least a lack of vocabulary).

     Except that there isn't any credible evidence that the sky is
falling.  Simply being old, and possibly icky, code doesn't count.
