 "Well-placed profanity has its place, if used sparingly," one expert suggested talking about the blue streak in office work environment (Source New York).
So, "Is it now acceptable to say “fuck” in the office?" -- yes, and no -- "Everyone has his or her own comfort level with strong language," -- so, what if you are easily offended -- "People who are offended by profanity often don't speak up because they fear they won't be viewed as sufficiently hard-core or tough." -- as in any social setting I would say the majority rules.
---- they offer ---- Workplace profanity is everywhere, starting with our elected leaders, like Eliot (“I’m a fucking steamroller!”) Spitzer and Dick (“Go fuck yourself!”) Cheney, and continuing to our unelected moral arbiters, like Golden Globe–winning Bono (“fucking brilliant”).
---- here's the deal ---- Management ultimately sets the tone for unacceptable behavior in a given work place...but, they have to allow that people do need to express themselves (as normal people would).
