"like" is the worst word ever.

I'm a grammar/spelling nazi myself, but I say "you know" way too often, you know? I also overuse "seriously," "amAzing" (with emphasize on the second a)
My sister always says "that's depressing."
I can't stand people who say supposably, or libary.... and anytime people shorten words to undecipherable piles of letters when typing.

what happened to the words used by Shakespeare and Austen, the ones that give character, depth, and meaning to what we say?
