Awesome.

hahahaha! i remember i was having a conversation with some canadians back in 2002 about that. i half jokingly asked them whether or not they really said "eh" or not, and they replied "not as much as you guys say 'like'". i tried to defend myself, but the first thing i said was "well....it's, like,..." ever since then, i've been weening myself from using the word in that manner.

I try really hard to be linguistically aware, but sometimes there's just no other word. Also, trying not to say it can prevent you from using it correctly. I know a couple people here, recently from other countries, who've already picked that habit up, though...It's gotten bad.

The hip hop 'like' is 'know what i'm sayin'?'

what bugs me is when people use an adjective where an adverb should be used. specifically, when people use "good" instead of "well". i occasionally run the rock wall at the theme park in which i work and parents are always telling their children climbing the wall that they're "doing good". i'm not supposed to say anything but i always want to stab them in the face. i've been trying to make myself use "pretty well" whenever someone asks me "how's it going?" but it seems pretty awkward and has actually caused some people to give me odd looks.

You expressed your thoughts on the subject very well, and I agree completely. Especially when it came to the stabbing part.

Haha. I've been trying to stop saying "good" instead of "well".
