I try to stay fairly professional in the workplace, especially the more formal setting I'm in now. I'm also careful about my language around folks I don't know, because it's the polite thing to do. Lately I've noticed that my co-workers have used a few curse words in my presence. The comfort level must be going up.
They probably got a clue the other day when I was shouting at my computer, swearing up a blue streak, in German.

:) Not much more than some swearing and random words left.

In French.
Heh.
