The word "like" drives me crazy.
It's especially annoying when I'm talking to an ADULT and that moron uses the word "like" at least 15 times in one sentence. I want to strangle them for butchering the English language.

Yes, my sister who is turning 45 this November says, "like" more than Moon-Unit Zappa and I, too, would like to enact strangulation measures.

'you know' and I am the worst for saying it 1000 times per sentence, although I am working on it.

After Grey's became popular, so did the word "seriously".
And I'm guilty of saying it ALL the time... seriously

I am guilty of saying it all the time with my Tuesday/Thursday partner at work. We agree on a lot!

YES! I know it's a "stall word" that people use when thinking what to say, but it's VERY annoying.

"the" is way overused and overrated.

I also am troubled by the misuse of "literally," but sometimes it's so wrong it's funny.
I'm also annoyed by the over-application of the words "ironic" and "ironically."
Some things are just odd without actually being ironic. It doesn't really make you seem smarter to use the word "ironic" when you're talking to anyone who knows what irony is and recognizes that you don't.
(It seems to me that arguments break out on Fark.com all the time about the "ironic" tag, so I know I'm not alone.)
As is true for "literally," it can be pathetically entertaining to consider what factors would have to be true to make a given odd situation truly ironic, but it's rarely worth the effort.

"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?
