Don’t forget it now cost you to go to a tribunal £170.00 a few years ago that you have to pay to start with
I’m hoping you have been shown that the company has a no swearing policy - in black and white . If not you have a chance of keeping your job . If its in black and white as part of company policy and you have admitted swearing you have signed your own dismissal .
If your going to appeal it the only hope you have is if there is no mention of a no swearing policy in any of your companies employment contract, employee handbook etc.
If you appeal the reasons you list on the letter that you write to appeal your dismissal will be the only reasons that will be taken into account at any appeal hearing so that letter is vitally important as is the number of days/weeks you have to get it written and delivered to your employers .
Is this your first disiplinary ?
Have you ever been given a verbal warning for anything ?
If its your first offence why did management not speak to you and give you a chance to "modify your behaviour " before you were called to a full blown disiplinary ?
You urgently need a copy of your employment contract , your companies disiplinary procedures , employee handbook and any behaviour policies .
Following your advice Beefy could well see him keeping his job, but at some point you have to ask “is this really the type of company I want to work for?”. I certainly wouldn’t, and if they offered me my job back I’d not accept and then I’d take them for constructive dismissal.

^^^^ this
Quite often, when an employee is dismissed for what is seemingly a trivial offence, there are underlying reasons where the company were looking to divest themselves of that employee.
If you have been employed there for less than 2 years your only recourse to Tribunal will be if the company failed to follow their own processes correctly, or you have suffered one of the legally enforceable discriminations
The fact that someone else may have used abusive language and not been disciplined is not, on its own, a reason for your dismissal to be unfair.
What were the circumstances surrounding the swearing incident tho ?
I mean did you swear at someone , call them a ■■■■ or what ever ■■
Or was it just including a swear word or two in a conversation 
I run an employment bereavement service if you are interested Honked.

Constructive dismissal can’t be claimed if you don’t follow the disiplinary process .
Disiplinarys usually start with a verbal warning , then a written warning and then a disiplinary hearing , Only after all these processes and appeals can you go to a tribunal for constructive dismissal . You and the company have to follow all the steps . You or the company have to follow the set down procedure .
Go through the process the proper way and you have the option for constructive dismissal. If you don’t follow the process you haven’t a leg to stand on .
Done the grievance process, had my disciplinary and lodged appeals. Waiting for the final bs letter then lodge a claim.
