But salty language is part of the real world. There is a place and time where it does invoke some degree of realism into 'overheard' conversations as used by a writer attempting to re-create an accurate portrayal of life in the slums, or even executive boardrooms (Nixon, Blagojevich, et. al). My objections would lie only in those instances in which the language was inappropriate or unrealistic to the scenario.
I love hearing Nixon cuss. It just sounds so funny coming from him.
