Hello Areeb,

Thanks for taking the time to comment and to share your thoughts. In answer to some of your questions...

Work done on the way deceivers use language has been done in multiple other cultures, and in different languages. Results of this work indicate that liars tend to behave very similarly across the globe. That said, my colleagues at Orbit Financial Technology and I are currently in the midst of verifying some of these assumptions using Mandarin.

As for examples of swear words...to my knowledge, I am only aware of a handful of examples. Because of the rarity of the occurrence of these words, it is hard to prescribe which ones to look for specifically. More important is that swear words are indicative of a kind of attitude on the part of management that is to be avoided.

With smiles,

Jason
