  True.  
  I make a value judgement on people who use foul language as being less
educated.  (No matter how many letters they may have after their name). 
  I get the impression they are also not very bright.

   But words mean things.  
   They are a representation of something that is known.
   Otherwise why have any language at all?

   Then so the sounds of "love", "family", "honour", etc.  Then they don't
mean anything either.   
   If words have no meaning and are just sounds why use them at all?  Why
not just grunt and point?
