[Talk] What is with all the cursing

[Dnacid (Dnacid)]

I am currently taking an English class at NTHU, but the amount of expletive

used IN CLASS by students really suprised me.  It is not just used once or

twice, nor was it by accident, but intentionally used in skits we are suppose

to write and perform in front of the entire class.  Up to this point, I think

only one expletive is missing from their repertoire of swear words (the usual

F--k, A--, Sh-- is very well practice and used).

I thought maybe it was just because it is in a different language, so students

here don't take it as seriously.  But then again, I could never imagine saying

swear words in front of the class on purpose.

Do Taiwanese students and teachers have more tolerance on curse words compared

to Americans?  Coming from a Chinese background, I have always though that

the use of language is taken very seriously.  Is it just that I have been gone

too long?  What happened?
