Massachusetts People Don’t Swear Much – Seriously

Massachusetts people don’t curse much on the phone. Are you #*#@* kidding me?!

Analysis by the Marchex Institute found that Massachusetts callers are the second least likely to curse on phone calls – only Washington cursed less. Ohio topped the list for most foul-mouthed callers.

Marchex examined more than 600,000 calls over a year that were placed by consumers to businesses in 30 different industries.

Though Massachusetts people don’t curse much, they also don’t say “please” and “thank you” enough either. Massachusetts was ranked the second least courteous state in the report.

Massachusetts doesn’t swear or say “thank you” on the phone? That’s *@*#*&*!

Some other findings from the report:

• 66% of curses come from men
• The calls that contain the most cursing are more than 10 minutes long. So the longer someone is on the phone, the more likely that call is to devolve.
• Calls in the morning are twice as likely to produce cursing as calls in the afternoon or evening.

What do you think about the findings? Do you find Massachusetts people don’t curse much or say “thank you” enough? Let us know in the comment section, but keep it clean.
