It's super annoying when people use the world "like" for example in every single sentenceNot sure it's because English is my second language but it stands out really fast and gets annoying really fast :blobcatgiggle:

@stuxDon't ever watch "Too hot to handle" / "The Circle US" / "Love is blind" or any other real TV show on Netflix. It's, like, the worst.

@stux One of the big lessons of the last ten years is that hip technologists are basically spoiled children.

@stux it was a part of American teen speech starting in the 1980âs. It hasnât fully died out. I catch myself doing it sometimes.

@coctaanatis @stux it is pretty common in Austin Texas. Valleyspeak may be the origin but it spread far.

@stux Agreed. And itâs getting worse. More people are doing it more often.Iâm finding a similar (and growing) dislike of the tendency for a podcaster Iâm new to, who finishes his sentences â even plainly stated ones not asking anything â with, âright?ââThe thing is, people arenât like that, right? They donât behave that way.âAaaaaaaalmost making the podcast unlistenable for me, because that bumps me from enjoyment of the discussion every time he does it, which is frequently.

@stux It is not because English is your second language, it is because it is really annoying.In the UK, I associate with Essex Youth. And yes, it is annoying as hell.

@stux itâs actually less the usage than the fact that the people themselves are annoying you, I think.

@stux Itâs not any worse than having someone from another country criticize your country. I know the US has many, many problems but itâs âlikeâ when someone complains about your mother⌠itâs ok if you do it but itâs so NOT ok if someone else does it.

@CapeHeaven Hmm but why wouldn't it be okay? :blobcatgiggle: I kina like it when people point stuff out to me, that way i can or adjust because i wasnt' even aware or there's a reason for something :blobcatgiggle: maybe it's not as much critics as it is feedback, maybe not always wrapped in a gift but hey

@stux But seriously, I think school children or young teenagers often use these kinds of linguistic mannerisms in spoken language, and in adults, this sounds a little bit uneducated.

@stux I just donât see the need to criticize just because of his vernacular. Itâs a different way of life with different norms. Doesnât mean your way or my way is better than the other, just different.

@stux Harry Shearer (This Is Spinal Tap, The Simpsons, A Mighty Wind) would find interviews where the guest would begin every sentence with "SoâŚ", and play them on Le Show, one of the best programs on radio/streaming.https://harryshearer.com/le-show/

@stux Itâs a common verbal tick, and once you notice it⌠incredibly distracting. Itâs a filler word to give more time to think, but a whole generation of not-so-well-educated people have it.

@stux It is horrific. I was in Berlin a few weekends ago, and sitting in a bar with my niece. Some American tourists were "like, like, like" ALL THE TIME.It's as though they have no other words.

@stux It's less obvious to native speakers, probably...especially GenX'rs and our offspring.It's something I try to curb, myself, but I'm acutely aware that my wife does it, like, a lot. đ
