interesting... and also

And, actually? The use of “like” in a sentence, “apparently without meaning or syntactic function, but possibly as emphasis,” has made its way into the Webster’s New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition — this newspaper’s reference Bible — where the example given is: “It’s, like, hot.” Anyone who has seen a television show featuring the Kardashian sisters will be more than familiar with this usage.

phew, been stuck with "like" for 15+ years, and now I don't need to try to get rid of it.

uptalk always irritates but also strangely arouses (inexplicable!) on occasion.
