I heard a guy call in a radio talk show to make fun of Kennedy. I admit, she does sound silly. But this guy said 'I mean" 6 times in 30 seconds. It was funny. And the host said "Ya know" 3 - 4 times.
My sister says 'like' all the time. It drives me insane. Hopefully, out of this will come a recognition that the english language has degenerated into a mixture of ebonics and vally girl.
