Is it true that most people with Tourette syndrome involuntarily swear?
No. A peer-reviewed review states coprolalia is a relatively rare complex vocal tic in Tourette syndrome, and the CDC says most people with Tourette do not uncontrollably use inappropriate language. Both directly contradict the claim that most people with Tourette involuntarily swear.
