I had the same experience in the classroom. Students -- actually cadets in my case -- knew that using profanity was a sign of disrespect so they kept it to the hallways and barracks. Thanks for responding.

I would never use it. In some eyes, using profanity diminishes the speaker. And I agree that using profanity suggests a limited vocabulary and lack of control. Maybe it's okay with the majority of your audience but you can be sure that at least some people will find it offensive.
