  Everywhere in the world you can hear people swearing or using foul 1 language. Even when learning a secondlanguage, many people know how to swear before they can speak the language properly. Indeed, it is a disease.

Recently, in New Jersey 2, the government decided 3 to do something about the problem. It banned swearing.

You could face a US$500 fine, including a three-month jail term for swearing. Considering the trivial natureof the crime, the punishment seemed quite harsh to some. Some say the law infringes 4 on their rights. Butothers say it is a good law because people in New Jersey have really stopped swearing so much.
