    Why are you typing “sh!t” and “f*ck”? You’re allowed to swear on the internet, you know.

      Hahaha. I’m a teacher. It is better to err on the side of caution. Never know when I’m actually sleep-typing an email and forget to be cordial.

      It’s more about self-discipline and self-awareness rather than self-censorship. The self-censorship kicks in when I’m in the classroom, and some kid feels the need to act a damn fool.

        Surely just don’t use the swears at all if you want to be cautious? I doubt it’s any less professional to type “f*ck” in a work email rather than “fuck”!
