One In 13 Tweets Contains At Least One Curse Word [STUDY]

Do you swear a lot on Twitter? Or even occasionally?

You’re far from alone. A new study has revealed that one in 13 tweets contains at least one curse word, with swearing reaching its peak on Twitter right before we head off to bed.

Researchers at Wright State University studied 51 million English-language tweets from 14 million different user accounts and discovered that most of us curse more on Twitter than we do in real life.

Moreover, the study revealed that the same few curse words are in heavy rotation on Twitter (with that old family favourite at number one).
