For the most part I've got it down and can say it no issue, but for whatever reason I have to say "and also with you" whenever I hear someone blessing me with the Force.

    I used to be a lot stricker with not using the lord's name in vain, but as I grew more integrated into public school, I've found myself not really holding back anymore. I still refrain from cursing, because if you can't a good argument with proper vocabulary then you shouldn't be making the argument at all, but I still find myself say "Oh my God!" or "Jesus!" sometimes. Though, for a little while I tried to switch to saying words that sounded similar but weren't the same, but I found people did not take me as seriously if I did that. I'm trying to say gosh or jeez but it's hard to step back once you've crossed that boundary.
    Yeah, I try to avoid cursing like the plague. "Crap" is as high as I'll go, and I'd have to be having a REAL train-wreck of a day for me to take it higher (and I still end up feeling bad about it). I know friends that swear like sailors, and I know once you've tumbled into that habit, it's extremely hard to break. I'm even reluctant on having RP characters swear even though the moment would call for it and it falls within their character personality.

    Usually when I am about to curse I start making weird noises instead that act as a sort of censor. But, as for characters cursing, eh. If it falls within their character then sure, why not? I have characters that never curse and characters that curse all the time. It's just how they are.
