Don't you know why the way people talk now is meant to drive people crazy with the constant k'k'k's of like exhausting me?

Like” is a good word, a useful word.  I like it. It has been in use since the Middle Ages. However, it has never been as ubiquitous in casual conversation as it is now.  I must admit that excessive and unnecessary use of like has been a pet peeve of mine for years.  It is commonly used as a filler, and it delays expressing an actual idea.

    I, LIKE, know, totally LIKE, what you are saying. LIKE OMG, so annoying.

    Like is some people's versus of Um, when they are talking.  Um actually annoys me more.

    Really? Because it is dulcet in my ears as compared.
    especially of sound) sweet and soothing (often used ironically):
    "record the dulcet tones of your family and friends"
