Swearing

Swearing is almost always inappropriate. However, in some situations, it might possibly be OK - but don’t swear excessively and only do so if the situation really calls for it. It might be appropriate if you’re doing a presentation on a callous murderer, and you’re quoting something they said before attacking one of their victims. If it’s a humourous presentation, the jury’s out on whether a well-placed expletive might possibly be appropriate - decide for yourself based on your school and teachers.
