RE: She uses “like” way too much though. It gets annoying.

That’s a habit of millenials in the USA. I wonder how they got that linguistic habit.

I agree, but I kept hanging in there, because she was sincerely speaking the truth!

I found that annoying too. “”Like’’ is a conditioned linguistic tool implanted in young people to make them soften their real feeling or intent so as not to ‘’offend’’. It’s a measure of self-censorship.
