It is possible to not like/use a word but not judge others. That is a thing people are capable of doing. I have several words I don't use because I don't like them, I don't like the way they sound or I have a negative experience connected with them. I just don't like them.

But I don't judge someone else for using them.

See? It's possible.

Several select words is a far call from "all swear words as a blanket whole" though.

Well its a similar principle. Someone could choose not to use swear words but not judge people who do who think they're rude/bad people for it.

I have good friends who are like that. They won't use swear words but they won't mind that the rest of our friend group tends to use them, and they don't seem to like us any less for it. It's their personal choice.

I would wonder why they made that choice, then, or what their reasoning for it is. I'm not going to disrespect their choice, go inquire about it, or try to force them to swear because it honestly doesn't matter to me as much as you seem to think it does, but I wouldn't automatically assume it's non-sanctimonious.

Before you get offended, I'll add it's certainly minor enough trait to shrug off, especially for a friend.

Let me show you something.

"sanc·ti·mo·ni·ous
ˌsaNG(k)təˈmōnēəs/Submit
adjectivederogatory
making a show of being morally superior to other people."

Part of the definition of sanctimonius is that they're making a SHOW of it. That they're rubbing it in other's faces and bragging about it.

If you have to inquire about someone's choice not to use swearwords than by definition it is not sanctimonious.

Ye-es. And in general, if I'm inquiring about it, that means I noticed, which means there was likely a show of some kind. I wouldn't go inquire to your friends because I have no idea who they are, but someone would have to do quite a bit to make me notice the fact that they actively censor themselves from swearing at all times. I say this as someone who rarely, rarely swears-- it's not that noticeable and certainly not to the "at all" extent.

Censoring themselves in a professional setting and such is obviously different, that's the outside rules again.

You talked about non sanctimonious reasons. What I'm saying is that if you have to inquire the REASON then how the fuck is the reason "sanctimonious"?

and really, why do people have to justify to what words they do or don't use to begin with? Oh no they've avoided using swear words 10 times now!

Eh? "A sanctimonious reason" isn't "the reason is explicitly to be sanctimonious". It's a reason that incidentally comes off sanctimonious. Like a hypocritical reason isn't "in order to be a hypocrite", it's a reason that incidentally comes off hypocritical.

I never said people have to justify what words they use.

I think you're getting confused now, because this is starting to not make sense.

non of all ayrt,

why so f***ing serious?
