According to a new study, most of us tend to use foul language an average of 16 times a day. Yes, we all use a swear word 16 times a day!!! Now for some, that number may seem low. I do know many people in my life that could probably get to their 16 in less than an hour.

Let's start by giving you some substitute words that you can use the next time you feel like swearing.
