I agree, but to make assumptions because of it, can also be a possible indication of stupidity of some form, so it's also important to not make assumptions of course.
I mean to believe that someone's a chav just because they swear, is fucking lunatic as Stephen Fry puts it, not everyone who swears is a chav. If only you took Stephen Fry alone as this clear example of a non-chav that swears!
