	Swearing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To swear can mean either to make an oath, or to utter profanity.
		A court witness will have to swear to tell the truth, sometimes by the name of a deity or upon things considered holy, for example a Bible or a Qur'an.
		Use of this type of swearing in inappropriate or trivial circumstances, or in some traditions "taking the Lord's name in vain," is often considered wrong or sinful.

	Swearing
		Although much of the public angst surrounding swear words concerns their explicit meanings, a personal survey involving a wide variety of spoken sources revealed that only 7% of the swear words used were intended literally (and most of these literal examples were relatively mild words such as arse).
		Swear words may be deliberately positioned in such a way as to create alliteration or assonance.
		Swearing may also be beneficial as a means of relieving pent-up anger, and studies have indicated that those who swear regularly suffer less from stress than those who do not.

	SWEARING
		Swearing has two different meanings: (1) “to use profane or blasphemous language, to curse,” and (2) “to make a solemn declaration or affirmation with an appeal to God or to someone or something held sacred, for confirmation” (Webster).
		Swearing in itself therefore was not wrong, “and an oath for confirmation” was “an end of all strife” (Hebrews 6:16).
		In addition to his own swearing, in one instance Paul wrote to some Christians: “I am putting you under oath before the Lord, that this letter be read to all the brothers” (1 Thessalonians 5:27).

	Parenting and Child Health - Health Topics - Swearing
		Sometimes children swear because it is part of the language of their school yard and they don't realise it is not OK unless someone explains to them why they should not do it.

		If your child continues to swear a lot and it is not because adults in the family swear, you may need to talk with her about why she does it.

	Swearing
		Swearing - the use of profanity or "dirty'' words - is almost a developmentally normal behavior for children during middle childhood and early adolescence.
		For these youngsters, swearing is often a sign of being worldly-wise and unafraid to be a little "bad." Profanity is used to impress friends and can become a part of peer relationships.
		For example, use a jar of nickels that she can earn at the end of two weeks; for each day that she doesn't swear during this time, two additional nickels will be placed in the jar; but each time she swears, nickels will be removed.

	Lawfulness or Unlawfulness of Swearing
		That which the law called swearing, the gospel calls confessing, each of them speaking of the same thing, in the proper dialect of each; which confessing in the life, in the truth, in the renewed principle, is the weight and substance of that, whereof the oath was but a shadow.
		Now the swearing itself, or formal taking of an oath, is of little value; but to be obedient, to be faithful, is the thing of value.
		But this cannot be accepted for want of the other confirmation; to wit, of swearing, which came in by the fall, and was allowed among the shadows of the law, but is forbidden by the gospel.
