It's beneficial for people to be able to use their language-of-choice because language is ART. When I am creating a drama/comedy/satire, I craft dialog to deliver a message - a message that may be part of a very meaningful whole.

"Stop shitting in my yard" contains an entirely different message than "Stop pooping in my yard". The first if forceful and angry, the second is humorous and laughable.

When we start carving parts of the language up into categories that are acceptable and not, we are fettering our very ability to communicate.

Your choice is to dictate people's language and thought patterns and control how they communicate.

My choice is to allow people to communicate how they please, and to continue to allow individuals to partake in whatever their own sensibilities permit.
