stux⚡️Maybe it's the Dutchie in me but I sooo cannot stand how it's normal in American TV shows that everyone says "like" in every freaking sentence 
Like dis, like that, like, like, like 
It sounds so uh.. dumb..

She's like "Like you have no idea" and I'm like "I know right?"

I am old enough to remember when 'like' started getting used like that... My parents hated listening to me when I would talk that way.

Matilda@nikatjef @stux Same. And yet now we can’t stop! It’s actually really interesting how it’s embedded in most levels of American English now. I suspect a lot of people don’t even realize they use it. Mostly I see that we use it for pause effect, so if I’m writing in a very casual conversational style I even include it in writing sometimes.
