True, but a pet peeve is the abuse of the word “like” in such manners. I was in an office supply store and heard a customer tell an employee that she needed “like two of those.” Like two?

Like, you know, that whole valley girl slang from, the like, 80’s.

lol.

“I would like to have 2 of those, please” would be the proper way of asking I think.
