Bullet Magnet: Striped shirts are not necessary. But they are not offensive, like swear words. Why would you want to be foul? The definition of foul: Merriam-Webster's Dictionary: Offensive to the senses; loathsome. Even if they act as the quarterback of your vocabulary, why would you use loathsome words when there are civil ones that will do just as easily?

My whole argument was that "civil" ones do not always do the sentiment justice, when you want a harsh edge to your phrasing, for example, or actually desire on occasion to be uncivil. Or, you know, personal preference. I'm not particularly concerned with causing offense, particularly to those who are offended so easily, and over such trivial things. For them, being offended is really a self-inflicted distress.
