Sure. Come into my office and tell me what's on your mind.

I can understand why Mr. Jones was upset. What did he say?

That's right. Obscenities are not nice words. They are curse words. When some people get mad, they resort to using bad language to express their anger.

Swearing, which is another word for cursing, is never effective. It only makes the person who is cursing look badly and is awkward for everyone else.

How did it go this afternoon at your meeting?

What did he say?

Did he say anything else?

Cursing has become all too common these days. So much so that some people think nothing of it.

They don't realize the negative effect it can have on their careers or business relationships.

No, it is never appropriate to curse in public. You have no idea of the effect you'll have on others. Besides you can't predict who may be present and will recognize you later as the foul-mouthed person at the baseball game.

if you are around total strangers whom you are not likely to see again, ignore them and move on. If you are with co-workers,suggest that you are willing to meet with them and discuss issues withe them, but not when they use obscene language.

that‘s a good idea..
