I feel like this is an American thing. In English 'curse' is very uncommon and sounds weird. 'Swear' is just the regular term everyone uses. I'm curious as to why you think it's childish though. Ic anything I'd have thought it would be the other way round.

That might explain why my reaction to this secret was "but 'swear' is way more common than 'curse', I find it weird when people say 'curse'". /English

I'm an american and use swearing and cursing interchangeably. Neither sounds any more immature than the other.

from philadelphia if that makes a difference

+1. Canadian, and in my experience, it's 'swearing', never 'cursing'.

I'm Canadian and I use both pretty interchangeably.

But I think OP was talking about using "swear" as a noun, i.e. "He said a swear," or "That movie had so many swears in it."

Personally, I would say "People swear/curse like crazy in this book," and I might say, "This book has a ton of swear words in it," but I wouldn't use just "swear(s)" as a noun on its own. It does sound a little juvenile to me. But then again, using "swears" in that way might just be a regional thing.
