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.

I was going to mention "I mean" earlier. I am on a one-woman campaign to stop myself from saying it unless I really MEAN it. So far it's not going particularly well. It seems that I don't realize I've said it till after it's out there.
