Local is a bad word to describe it. When I think local. I think my local suburb. Not the country I'm in. There is no reason that a foreign noble should know about your bad language or vulgarity. The realm decency should matter. It should matter a lot. If it's a load of Vikings, there should be no penalty for speaking a little vulgar among each other. I think the main problem is that people take it very badly when they get the message saying they have been vulgar. Because it hurts their characters stats. Yes, I know, it's measly point of honour, but still a loss. I think people will start looking a things differently once this new stat system gets introduced. The current one makes your characters suffer for RPing them a certain way. etc, being vulgar.
