swore in gcse mfl writing, is that ok?

This doesn't really matter because my GCSEs were cancelled last year, but I added the word mierda in my Spanish Mock GCSE. I did the same thing (merde) in my French Oral responses (never got to say it out loud though). My teachers saw the colourful language in both cases but they never said anything. Generally, in a MFL writing paper, if you swore in the target language in order to describe something (e.g un trabajo mierdo), would you be marked down? Should you be? I'm assuming not but idk.
Snowflakes do not like swearing, so it will be frowned upon.
i'd avoid it tbh, surely there's other descriptive words you could use that are a bit less offensive?

:yep: obviously i can't say for definite whether it's acceptable but probably safer not to! you could always ask your teacher about this, even if they didn't say anything about in the mock.
