Some of my pet peeves...

This is probably one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. People who are constantly cussing, and using nasty, vulgar language. I just can't seem to understand WHY people need to use these nasty, nasty words as adjectives, whether they are angry, or happy, or sad, or thrilled, or confused. What's the POINT in using words like that? I mean its one thing saying them when you're REALLY upset/angry (I can't even stand it then), but to say it when just talking casually? That peeves me SO MUCH! It really bothers me when people do that. I can't understand HOW people use such language so freely, without feeling bad or ashamed about it. Its really degrading in my opinion...degrading of the person using those words. Just reading or hearing such vulgar language makes me feel sick inside. Really can't understand how or why people use them with every other thing they say. Yuck. Why would anyone want to use such degrading language? It only degrades themselves and makes them seem uncivilized. I guess you can say I strongly dislike it when people have such bad ettiquettes when it comes to language.
I agree with you, it makes people sound like they have no vocabulary. I admit, I do swear sometimes, but I have a brother-in-law whose every other word is the "F" word. That drives me CRAZY! Especially considering he has two little girls (ages 10 & 5) and he does not hold back around them. I can't even imagine hearing that from my father, that would be so disturbing...
