The Use of Letter to Hide Filthy Speech

Just to let you know, if anyone is using a filthy word, leaving out two letters to pretend they are not saying the word, they are still using the word.
My question is "Why would a Christian want to pretend to use a filthy word? Perhaps it is just to fit into the culture around them or maybe it sounds "cool" to them.
Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.".
"Corrupting talk":
"This phrase is translated from a Greek word meaning "rotten" or "unwholesome," implying that speech should not be degrading or harmful."
Leaving out a couple of letters is a way of pretending not to use the word but still using it. The people reading still know what you are saying and are being influenced to do the same thing.
We don't need to fit into the world, we can be and should be different.
