This is it. This is the source of the disconnect.

The phrase "uses swears" sounds childish because it's applying the word "swear" incorrectly. The correct phrasing is, "he's fond of swearing," or "he uses swear words," or "he often swears."

That said, I don't think "uses curses" sounds much better, despite the usage being correct.

I'm afraid "He uses curses a lot" just makes me think we're talking about a Death Eater.
