PPOT is different, because we are (mostly) adults. Are your emails at worked laced with profanity? I'm no saint, I've been known to be colorful from time to time (especially when working on cars), but rarely is it required to make a point.

We are generally a classy bunch and profanity shouldn't be necessary. That being said, I am old enough to remember a time when profanity just wasn't common.
