I use salty language, but since I'm alone most of the time, no one hears it.

Yes.

I started using profanity when I began my first job out of grad school. I found that I was being walked-on a lot (surprise, surprise) so I adopted profanity as a way to seem more big and tough. It has since become a habit.

During meltdowns, so long as I am "venting" my frustrations to those I know and trust, I find that cussing up a blue streak really helps with the catharsis.

I do make it a point to use no profanity at all in professional or commercial settings; it is not appropriate and usually quite counter-productive.

I used them pretty often as a teen, especially when South Park 1st came out but the novelty isn't there now. Back then people I was around other than my classmates didn't curse much usually. The curing gradually started becoming more popular/often with society in general. I still cruse but it's not special or anything. My cursing is kind of situation dependent; I won't curse around people who don't or in public much but I curse more around people who do or when I'm in a bad mood. I also like some cursing in funny/stupid songs :arrow:

I do, but I'm trying not to swear as much. I don't do it to look 'cool' or anything, just that it slips out from time to time.

All the time, sometimes for no reason. Best 2 opportunities for me come from watching a football game and playing a video game.

I'm squeaky clean. Swearing never seems to articulate my wide range of opinions.

I see nothing wrong with swearing.
But I do have to say that overuse does take the meaning and purpose away from words like that.
And it's fine if someone doesn't use then themselves, so long as they don't impose their philosophy on others and take some kind of a self righteous position as if they are better because they don't use certain words. The use of curse words is a sub-cultural thing. For instance, someone from New York is more likely to use those words, as opposed to someone from the bible belt.
Don't go criticizing someone because they come from a different culture or social class.

Seldom. Swear words don't suit me somehow. If I try to use a swear word, it doesn't sound natural. I don't feel I'm qualified to use swear words even in my first language.

I swear quite frequently, mostly out of habit.

I use swear words like grammarians use punctuation. Precisely, and in order to enhance my meaning.

(And sometimes for dramatic effect too, if I'm honest).
