I used to swear a lot when I was in my teens/very early twenties. Then I had a kid and significantly reduced my profanity. It actually went to the extent of me teaching my kids about the words they shouldn't use to keep them polite, and they feel really uncomfortable when they hear such words. I was actually concerned about how they reacted when hearing the words, so I tried to tone down my attitude and be like, "Look, it's okay if you hear those words in the things you watch, I just want to make sure that you know it's not acceptable to say such things yourself in most situations." That was better than having them feel like they had to hide from me what they were watching on YouTube.

I decided to interpret the definition more broadly, with "vulgar" not necessarily referring to profanities. I do think the fact I don't use that kind of language often has impacted the kind of person I am.
