When I was studying ASL with an eye to becoming an interpreter, one of my friends/instructors encouraged me to learn to swear, because I would have to do so if an interpreting job called for it.
I gave up the idea of becoming an interpreter partly because I found myself unable to afford to continue my schooling, but it was really for the best: I could watch hands, but taking in faces and facial expressions for any length of time was almost impossible for me.
