I see quite a few members here use the words DAMN (such as "not a damn thing") and HELL (such as, "what the hell....").

Should we really be using these words when we talk. Such words were even once forbidden to be used on TV.

You're right. It should be constrained. Although often it's done without thought, in a forum environment, there's ample time to correct it.

I wish I could clean up my language in real life.

I noticed recently that while I hardly ever swear out loud, I swear frequently and casually in my thoughts. It's one of those things where you overlook the obvious for a long time.
