Have you noticed the word “like” preceding numbers when spoken? For instance I heard a 30-something yesterday say “There was like one spot open.” How can “one” be confused or approximated to “like one”? Granted, most of us use slang but there are some people who overwhelmingly state a number and use “like” prior to it.

The newest perversion I’ve noticed is starting a sentence with “so”.

This brings to mind Drew Barrymore.

I love Turner Classic Movies. But once a week - she is co-hosting and is sitting there with “umms” - “you know” and “like” every 5th word. And she fidgets with her hair. She’s a chunky middle aged broad who still acts (and dresses) like a 22 year old.

I just wanna puke.

And there are millions of gals out there like her in the workplace.

They just don’t have a clue.
