I also tend to judge characters' intelligence by how frequently they use the word 'fuck.' Sorry in advance, but I do, without even meaning to. The funny thing about it is IRL, among friends, I swear like a sailor.
Not sure how I feel about the idea that if you curse you're ignorant is, as it does come up in my roleplay often enough and my personal life, but moving on from that little bit...
Linguistics are surprisingly interesting, especially in a world that has no defined history in that respect. There is no timeline really to base Eorzea on because it doesn't exist in reality, it's a creative world made up by the people who exist in it and it's framework which is created by people outside, who often don't think about the depth of roleplay that can happen.
While it's fine to say you don't enjoy it in the RP you participate in, to say it doesn't belong is like telling someone that they're playing make-believe wrong. We define the nature of language in this world in whatever we see fits our RP, yeah? So it has a place if someone chooses it has a place, I suppose.
