As for never hearing cursing in part of a normal dialect, are you serious? Wander round any college or place where teenagers hang out and it's quite obvious if you just listen that a lot of teens and young adults quite frequently use curse words in normal banter, for whatever reason, be it to emphasise a point or just because they can. It comes forth as a natural part of your vocabulary. Is that a good thing? Not necessarily, but eh.

Depends on your input and reaction to them. If a person has NEVER seen/played/heard of football but knew only of a internet forum, then this thread would be more important to him then if I said "Birmingham 0 - Leicester 2" wouldn't it?
The same can even go if a person was not aware of English or England itself, but only knew of France and the French language. If I say "Sandwich" they'd look at me odd wouldn't they?
How many people are likely to have never heard of/seen any sports yet know what an internet forum is and about becoming a celebrity on one is/means? Fact is supporting teams and the results of all sports played across the world bond many people together, gives people something to cheer and support, can bond people from many races and countries, e.t.c. I don't see how celebrity on an internet forum is comperable to that, but that's just me I suppose.
