About 10+ years ago, there was also a study that concluded 
that swearing is good for promotions too, because they 
examined language use, and concluded that higher ranked 
managers swore more, with top-level execs swearing the most.

Aren't we confusing cause and effect?
The peones (small fish) don't swear, because:
1) it's a cultural no-no;
2) they could get fired for improper behavior.
The big fish feel strong and free, and some assert their egos
by inappropriate behavior.
So I think that you don't get promoted because you swear, but that some
people start swearing because they feel they can get away with it.

Ciao!
