Want to take years off an education? That is what happens when one uses crude language and profanity like: “That sucks.” “Bite me.” “I screwed up.” “I’m so screwed.” “Crap!” “O-M-G.”
Profanity does not command authority, it shows a lack of control and makes the user seem less educated. One should not let profanity undermine the education one has worked so hard to get, but rise above it.
I think it’s a little much to use the term “brain drain” on this post but I think in general you are right that expletives are not the best when looking for employment.
Then again, in life, I support strategic use of profanity: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128432881
Wow Tim! This entry was really really interesting. I often worried about brain drain and this has helped me to get my mind around it.
