Anyone familiar with submitting to Asimov?

I've written a novella I am now editing and contemplating submitting to Asimov. Because it is a soft science (cryogenics) story involving a contemporary PI, it has some elements of swearing (eg shit, you piece of shit, fuck). I know they don't want violence, but does anyone know their stance on swearing. (I don't actually read the mag). I can of course downgrade things to "Damn" "Jesus" "piece of crap" etc sacrificing authenticity given the context of the swearing and making it more hokey. Any advice?
