<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Just asking, because we've all written characters who've killed before. I've written some that steal, we've all written liars, and I'm even writing an alcoholic right now. Having characters swear would be nothing in comparison to pretty much all of that, save lying, which can be argued.

No, but there's a difference. One describes an action and another is doing it. Because words themselves are a part of language, you cannot go through the thought process of writing them without the actual "action" itself being a part of you. I can think about a murder without being a murderer. I can think about a liar without being a liar. I can't think of and reasonably portray someone who swears without swearing because of the fact that it utilizes language itself. If I have a character that would swear (Misty, really), I just put that as an action symbol with the word "Swears" as the action.
