* What counts as a curse word? The definition is subjective and changes over time. Words considered taboo in one culture or era might be perfectly acceptable in another.
* New words are constantly created. Slang and internet culture constantly introduce new expressions that can become "curse words" in a specific context.
* Regional and cultural variation: What is considered a curse word in one region might be harmless in another.
However, we can say that there are a large number of words that are considered offensive or taboo across various cultures and languages. This number is constantly evolving and difficult to quantify.
Instead of trying to count curse words, it's more important to understand the cultural and social contexts in which they are used and the potential impact they can have.
