Couldn't agree more. I'm also starting to loathe the word "like". Like, when people are, like, trying to say something, like maybe something important, they can't help but, like, fill the sentence with the word "like". It seems to have taken over from "y'know". And, talking about something "important", I've noticed that people, including news correspondents, especially downunder, have started saying "impordant". What is happening with the world?
