"It's like...." or "I'm like..." drive me absolutely nuts!!! Especially when an adult says it. I also hate using "your" (shows possession) instead of "you're" meaning "you are"

I'd better stop now....lots of current speech patterns make me crazy. Doesn't anyone proofread anymore?????? OK...I'm an old crab.

For me it is hearing young people always saying "Ya know" "Ya know what" "did ya hear bout" "jus cause" it seems that no one has ever taught them how to formulate a complete sentence. My oldest daughter sends me abbreviated text messages; that I have to ask her would you please send me the rest of the letters for the words, because I have no idea what you just said.

Oh, so many! 'trust me' - I won't trust anyone who feels they need to say that. 'he's like' or 'I'm like' instead of he said or I said. Or using 'goes' instead of said. 'ya know?' 'all righty' These are just a few. And I don't like abbreviations like those used in text messages. Are we in such a hurry that we can't take time to care about how we are communicating?

So many replies (and from so many educators), I can't believe that I am the only one who cringes all during the second month of each year. February is pronounced Fe-brew-ary not Feb-you-ary. Newscasters and most young people as well as a lot of older folks (75. like me) either don't care or just can't seem to get it right in their mind. I look forward to the arrival of March every year.
