Cursing in the newsroom

[KG]

i think moddy should do away with all those sonsabitches.

But then I'd be all alone.

90 percent of my cursing is computer-related, 5 percent is from demonstratively explaining things (usually nonwork-related) and 5 percent is probably uncalled for.

With most of the equipment working just fine where I'm at, it's to the point where I've got the foulest mouth where I'm at. I try to watch it sometimes, but honestly, I can get pretty bad. fork it, I don't care. fork. shirt. bench. fork.

Most of my cussing comes from bitching.

Nature of the language is one thing -- I let fly plenty of times, usually at computers -- but the VOLUME is another. LOUD CUSSING is an even more annoying version of loud talking. It often disrupts people who are trying to get meet deadline and reflects badly on everyone when overheard by members of the general public who may be on the phone with another staffer.

Trouble is, cussers often cuss because something unexpected has pissed them off, so they get LOUD. NOBODY LIKES PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND NOBODY LIKES PEOPLE WHO THINK THEIR VOICE -- no matter what they're saying (unless the building's on fire) -- SHOULD BE HEARD ABOVE EVERYTHING.

Watch the language when you can but most of all, watch the volume.
