       Apparently there is no word for people who choose not to swear, similar to teetotaller for people who choose not to drink alcohol. The robot in my browser suggests that verbotonist (verbal abstainer) or profanon (profanity, non) could do the trick.“Sorry, I won't be reading that paragraph aloud—I'm a practicing profanonist.”So, am I completely alone in this? Do you swear, or use cute little euphemisms? (Ironically, my kids used to say, “What the mammoth?!”)

       @ellane Never in public. Which means I don't swear a whole lot in private either, just out of habit.

       @nicole And habits are powerful things! They make it harder to be hypocritical.
