I used to swear about every other word, but since I've gone into a more professional workplace world that's been toned down. Although even my boss knows I can rattle off on pretty good, long line of expletives when the system acts up or goes down.

Depends on the audience and state of mind.
I'll use swear words normally, though it's more like once every many sentences. When drunk, usage goes up a tick. When angry, then usage goes up significantly. Otherwise, it also depends on the audience. I'll swear more in front of a group of people who does and expect likewise, but in a professional setting, then I won't swear.

Normally, I swear not under anger or fury, but as a joke thing to my brothers of close friends. We treat it like the WHAZZAP.
Like, say when I want to borrow money, I'd go like this.
"Hey Roy, got some money?"
"Sure! Here you go, you 🤬."
"Well, 🤬, thanks so much."
Make up your own joke here.
Otherwise, I'd say underwater foul language ala Spongebob like fishpaste, barnacles etc. BUT NOT THE SAILOR MOUTH'S 13 BAD WORDS, AS INITIALLY REPRESENTED AS A DOLPHIN CACKLE!
Seroously, I'm a really really shy but overall mostly nice guy.

Only when I'm mad, when I hit my finger with a hammer.
In Dutch, it's not the same as in English. We don't really have swear-words as the English language has, so we use English swear-words.
I personaly think that the definition of swearing differs from Dutch and English.
We do tend to use English-forbidden-to-speak-outloud-words, like the s-word, the f-word etc... . You see, the American TV has a very huge and civilised impact on us, non English speaking 🤬. Oops, I did it again.....

I swear alot, not something I'm exactly proud of but it's almost become second nature with how much I swear in any sort of sentence. Although, I think GTP might be doing me some good, don't swear as much as I used to. 
Sometimes IRL if I can't put together a sentence I'll drop the occasional f-bomb. Oh yeah, with me being Australian I do like to call my friends 🤬
lol, if that's too much I'll edit that.

Pretty much use it for punctuation when amongst friends or as a c-c-c-combo for being insulting towards/about people at work, never swear infront of my parents. I said the other word for poo when I was in front of my mum once, I was about 8 or 9, she smacked me so hard it knocked me off my feet, I'm now 35 and I don't think they've even heard me say anything stronger than "oh bugger!" since.

Reminds me of a post by daan, I believe, which said something along the lines of "if you would never say it in front of your parents, don't say it here". And I swear a lot in front of my parents, usually my father replies with something "what a mouth, heh?", or "Lucas, watch your mouth". But nothing prevents me from swearing again two seconds later if someone kills me repeteadly in GTA Online or rams me in GT6.
EDIT: It was Duke.
"NO SWEARING. If you wouldn't say it to your parents, don't say it here. Personally, I say crap and hell in front of my mother. But I don't say anything worse."

Roo's method of swearing is very entertaining.
As for the thread, I'm very audience sensitive. I tend to adjust how much I swear for the audience I'm with. When I'm with uni friends, I'm sure I swear too much as it's pretty normal for 19 and 20 year olds to drop f bombs all the time. I try to avoid it but it happens. When I'm with my family I never swear, and I make it a point to avoid swearing in public posts on the internet. GTP helped with that as it was my first foray into any kind of social contact via the internet, but I like to keep my posts clean anyway.
However, while I've always thought that I use swearing too much IRL, I recall one evening where I swore at a friend of mine for nearly spilling something in my flat, and he told me that it was the first time he recalled me actually swearing at someone. I do tend to swear a lot when I talk to myself (judge all you want), and I tend to swear when I'm frustrated with something.
I seem to recall a quote Jerry Seinfeld used in one of his conversations in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee that I felt was very, very true. It went something like this: "If you have to swear to make a joke funny, it's probably not that funny." **** that.

I swear a ton. Working for 4 years in a restaurant kitchen through high school exposed me to some very creative ways of cursing
That and when I'm in Nova Scotia all my family swear a ton too and I've picked up on a lot of that. It's a maritime city and there's a lot of people who are literal drunken sailors and that influences the language.

I swore a lot this afternoon. I was trying to fix my father's seat. It didn't work out as well as I wanted and I started to swear. I mean really swear. I was mad, pissed and ...... 
I did cool down after a while and I finished it.

I swear like a sailor. The only reason I don't swear here is because I'd have been banned for it a long time ago. I work on a crusty, old AE86, having a big vocabulary of swear words is like the number one tool! XD

I'm one of those people who will swear like an English action film - it's become so deeply rooted as a normal function that having not sworn for 24 🤬 hours I think I may be suffering a light anxiety attack.

In speech, quite often unless in a open-public setting (stores, etc). At home with my brother, or work with pals in some privacy (Shop enviroment at a GM Dealership) its quite common to call a stuck part or sharp edge a b-word
In text n' such, not near as often, if at all. The few times I do, it's usually here with the 🤬 icon.
You 🤬'ing 🤬.

🤬 yeah I do.
Ironically, I almost never cuss online, probably because it requires more effort just to type it out, then remember it's not allowed, then delete it again.
But in person? A lot. But I also know when not to cuss, and that helps a lot.
