Does that mean you like the word like? Which would mean that you like like like!

Well i have often heard some very prominent and public speaking people who had an affection for the "like"word believing it was "so fun".
you really think about it however I would prefer the often spoken and more civilized "like" in sentences rather than the often noun, verb adjective, adverb of the "f"word. In case some of you have noticed there has been a substantial diminishing of our educational system while the costs of education go up. But as a teacher once told me some of her kids "got no problems" |

In addition to the word "like" I think I would want to include the words "I mean" which starts an awful lot of replies to a question asked. If you listen carefully to most people's answers to a question invariably you will hear "I mean" as started words to the reply. Anyone have an idea why this is so prevalent and what exactly is the purpose??

What gets me is the Harvard educated leader of the free world always using the word "gotta" instead of "have to" or "must."

While we're ranting, here is another one for me. I cringe when I hear people say, "he gave 110 percent."
That is not physically possible. The most you can ever do, no matter what, is 100%. Everything you have is 100%. If you then learn to do more, then the definition of 100% changes to that level.

Another phrase I hear from somewhat younger folks is "He goes" in lieu of "He said" followed by a quoted statement.

Between the Food Police, the Spelling Police, and now the Language Police; how can anyone in The Villages go wrong?

The older people get the more useless things are needed to occupy one's mind.

I loved this comment above. Have any of you noticed (this would be on t.v....maybe some movies) that folks will be asked a question perhaps and the answer comes back like this...."I mean, I don't know the answer to that question!" That sentence wasn't a true example but just wanted to high-light how folks use the statement..."I mean" and it doesn't belong in the sentence. If you haven't, just watch sometime and you will see it's prevelent. I haven't heard as much the "Like, I need to go do my errands!" as we once heard. That was sort of a "Valley Girls" contribution to our society.
