> Nice, now with extra patronizing, just the flavor we inferior cultures apparently crave.

Oh no! Sounds like somebody just figured out that insults work both ways!

> Let me guess, you can count them on one hand, right?

If I needed two, would that help? Three? Four? [0] Would it? Really?

> Let’s be clear: I've been working in Spain for nearly 25 years. Cursing is common here.

Let's be extra clear then! That's not what's being discussed!!!

Are you deliberately missing the point somehow? Do you see parentheses and skip right on?

> waiting to be corrected by the wisdom of outside standards

And this is especially not what's being discussed. What's being discussed is if it's waiting to be corrected by the wisdom of inside standards. If people there think they're being unprofessional when using foul language in codebases or formal corporate communications, and if that even happens. An event of mere (albeit severe) disbelief. Although if I were to believe you, an event of "cultural colonialism". Because apparently having an assumption or a negative impression is somehow inherently oppressive (???), and like how do I even dare to think that way? Sensitivities, huh?

Except you keep not talking about that for whatever reason. You keep going off about how people curse all the time. Of course they do. That was never the question! Do you include foul language when sending out advisories or quotes or other formal documents, to clients or internally? Do you include foul language and rants in the work you deliver, be it in commit messages, tickets, ticket comments, release notes, checklists, or code comments? That's what I want you to tell me, with every single one of those amazing, one of a kind, definitely maximally representative of everyone and everywhere else in the country 25 years of experience.

Because supposedly, according to you, all of these will be chock full of cursing!

> the kind where people don't filter themselves for fear of offending delicate American sensibilities

The delicate American sensibilities of a Central-Eastern European. Of not including foul language in code comments and such. Are you actually taking a piss? This is a fever dream, it has to be. You're acting as if I could drive for a few days and enter a foreign planet. You guys are not nearly that special and different, I'm sorry. Maybe except for turrón, no idea how to enjoy that with or without having my dentist on speed dial, I'll admit to that much.
