MEXICO: Mexicans Swear They Don't Curse More Than Others.

NYTIMES/
A recent survey disclosed that Mexicans, despite a reputation for politeness and formality, swear like sailors. They use profanity with friends, with co-workers, with spouses and even with their bosses and parents, for an average of about 20 bad words a day. If the estimates are true, the survey noted that Mexicans use 1.35 billion curse words daily, or 500 billion annually.
