Playing on stereotypes: what might be normal behaviour for a sysadmin at an Australian games company would likely be horrifically bad behaviour for a user-facing tech support role in a German accounting software company. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think programmers swearing regularly is pretty normal at work in a lot of places.

I kinda agree with this.
At my company we curse a lot and not because we aren't professional, that's just our culture.
We're more like friends/family than just colleagues.
I do agree with Walter too that you should refrain from using such phrases if possible.

No. It's about professional demeanor. It's neither hard to understand nor hard to do.

It's not about being offended. I'm not offended.
Would you pick up your date for the prom wearing track shorts? I wouldn't, either. On the D forums, I expect all to behave in a professional manner.
That includes the dlang github repository.

After all, we have a style guide for code submissions. |

No, it is not. There have been many posts removed for unprofessional behavior that did not involve swearing.

I don't think anyone would be willing to read a book to post on a forum.

That one will pay off in far more circumstances than this forum. Consider it an investment, like reading Martin's "Clean Code" book. https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Code-Handbook-Software-Craftsmanship/dp/0132350882 |

"From social networking to social graces, Emily Post is the definitive source on etiquette for generations of __Americans__."
Guess that doesn't include me.
