I find I have an aversion to foul language. It is mainly esthetic, I suppose, but my reaction is to consider the speaker a jerk. I find it particularly irritating when it comes from folk who prate about morality.
A swear word at the appropriate time is far less expensive than the cheapest shrink.
To everything there's a season and a time for every purpose under heaven, said the wise man. In other words, a colorful word at the right time can do much for the psyche. Excessive use is another matter.
Mostly, if you are offended, stay away from such as would offend you and at those times you cannot avoid, don't correct, lest you be the jerk that does not mind his own business. Unless you are the parent of the offender.
