This is the question.

Is it against regulation to swear in another language?

If someone said 他妈的 on the airwaves would they be fined? Or more commonly in Spanish?

Maybe it depends on how much the censor knows.

I've heard that in tennis the chair umpires all know the major curse words in a bunch of languages, just to be ready if a player tries to use it.

I wish it was forbidden to swear in the english language. On Fridays I watch What Would You Do and every episode has words bleeped out. Yes I am a square and it bothers me that people need to swear.
