There is also this idea in the US that typing somewhere fuck or shit is unacceptable.

I am French and we have our dirty words which can be pit to good use or misused. An adult using them judiciously may help their message going through. It must not be overused, there is a specific balance to find.

Nobody will, however, type m....e because it means that the word should not have been there in the first place.

Bleeping such words looks like fake puritanism to me. Either use them and face the music or say crotte.
