Goldman Sachs ban: Is your office expletive-free?

A new ban on swearing at Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs could have some traders scrambling to find creative new ways to express themselves.
Following a Senate hearing that exposed expletive-laden emails, the company has declared four-letter words off-limits.
The swearing ban will be enforced using a screening software that will catch offending words in emails and text messages.
Does your workplace enforce swearing or other bans? Have you ever sent an embarrassing email you regret?
