This was inspired by the "How Often do You Swear?" thread, but I thought it deserved it's own thread.
So do you get offended by swear words by themselves? For me and most of my friends, it usually depends on the tone or context in which a swear word is used, for example; if a swear word is used in a joking way, it generally won't bother me, or if a swear word is used in a casual way, it is very unlikely to offend me.
But I know a few people who are offended by swear words in general regardless of the tone or context.
Does it bother you if people swear when it seems unnecessary to do so?
