Irene Swaine Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 There is a developmental problem with persons born after 1999 using the word "like" incorrectly in every single sentence. Example "I like had an ear infection, it was like painful, I like took medication". No, you had an ear infection, it was painful and you took medication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that pre-dates people born in 1999 by a good 20 years or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those days that sentence would be: "I had an ear infection like, it was painful like, I took medication like.” Edited January 9 by Jim Hardie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I've noticed younger people saying "I'm pi$$ed" when what they really mean is "I'm pi$$ed off". I think it's another American import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I haven’t read the whole thread (intrusive adverts in the way)… But my most annoying and overused words are…..”you know “. I listen to a lot of radio/tv…and the number of interviewees responses say “you know” followed by their response. Why the “you know “…. We don’t bloody know, else we wouldn’t have asked! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
