There’s also been considerable research
done on the use of “like” as a highlighter or foregrounder, as in “like,
awesome”.

I unfortunately still use that word, though I'm recovering nicely now
that I'm moving towards grad school.
My Latin teacher finds it extremely funny that, when listening to a girl talk
on the elevator the other day, he counted
- Seven (7) sentences,
- Five (5) of which contained the word "like," and
- Two (2) of which contained the word "like" more than once.
Just figured I'd inject a little college humor. My downfall is the word
"dude": "Dude, I saw that and I was, like, awesome!"
