In 1961 we had a Reading class which used the SRA(?) system. It emphasized improving vocabulary for comprehension. It seems obvious to me that the people who lack vocabulary fall back on expletives, and also the brain uses shortcuts to expletives for effectiveness when under stress

An interesting idea. Both my spouse and I have large vocabularies, but we have an overflowing swear jar. For myself, I see it as a bad habit that started as a rebellion.
I vaguely remember this. My Dad was against cursing and name calling. He would say: "There is better use for the King's English." Which is odd since he was from Ireland.
