Like, you know, it was, like, all like, you know, then I was like

The English language is such a marvel, when you really get down to it. We who speak Americanized English have so many words to use to describe so many things, yet we also have this marvelous tendency to use a single word to represent a wide and varied array of items and concepts. As a native American English speaker, I even enjoy the sound of some of the words available to me and others who share my vocabulary base. I have come to the point, however, that the sound of certain word grates upon my ears, and nearly causes me physical pain, especially if it is used in rapid succession within the same sentence. Sad to say, I just don't like "like." While this has no particular relevance to the project or any successful completion of any phase of it, I just felt the need to share my opinion. Since it is my opinion, you need not agree with it.

Nor, for that matter, even like it.

Feel free to not share your thoughts on the matter. You could better spend that time visiting the blog of my oldest chromosomal contribution at her new blogspot, litwitreviews.blogspot.com
