Well, even if it were, the implication that since Tom swears, he can't have
a good job or keep one is absurd, and even more impolite.  Hello, Mr.
I'm-an-Accountant.  Tom's the kind of guy who makes sure nobody can hack
into your accounts and completely screw with your entire life's work.  A
pretty good job, if you ask me.

Also, welcome to the world community.  Where "vulgarity" and "impolite" mean
different things to different people.  I myself swear very little, and it
does get offensive if it's extremely over the top.  But I'm not one to force
my own moral code on someone else- especially one from another culture.
Even the meaning of certain words are different other places.  I'm sure the
Brits mean something entirely different when they say "bloody".
