Pretty cool idea. What if this was an actual iOS app that tracked your voice and deducted BTC everytime you swore? 
Maybe a future blockchain application? 
Nevertheless, if I catch myself swearing or cussing someone out, I'll donate some BTC to your address.

Now you sir are leaping into the future. That's an amazing idea. If you create that app I'll be the first one to test it out for you hahaha.
cool.
so whats the deal with vanities? Aren't they slightly less secure?

In the sense that I'll be using the addresses over and over again, sure. But other than that I'm not sure what you mean. I made the vanity addresses with the help of an Ubuntu Live USB so I'm not open to any threats that may be on my system.
If someone else tries to do the same vanity, do they have an increased chance to find a collision?
I highly highly doubt it but I I'm not the one to ask about that tbh. The vanitygen thread has lots of experts that you could ask if you're curious. Pretty much every physical bitcoin maker uses vanity addresses as well so that's another entire market that trusts vanity addresses. I'm not saying it's correct, I'm just saying I don't see how it would ever be an issue. Basically all vanitygen does is create hundreds of thousands (or millions) of addresses at random and keeps going and going u tip it finds what you were looking for. To brute force my address would still take you quadrillions of trillions of billions of years.
