I propose that we, like, eliminate like a
whole bunch of words from the dictionary, and replace them with this ubiquitous
(which is like an example of one of the words we could eliminate) word that has
like proved itself so useful. You know?
If you like this idea, then I would like
it if you would like, like this post, because the more likes it gets, the more
we could like, spread this idea around. That would be like, totally awesome!
Or perhaps you are of the opinion that
“like” has become a form of conversational stuttering, disrupting the flow of
thought and impoverishing vocabulary in the general population. In that case, I
would propose that we eliminate this ubiquitous word from the English
dictionary, and ban its use in all public forums.
To
fill the vacuum such a drastic action would leave, we could implement public
vocabulary enrichment programs. I would be the first to jump on board such a
movement. The reason? Because I find this idea agreeable, congenial and
appealing, and would subscribe to it with delight, since I am partial to its
potentially enhancing effects on human discourse.
And there’s no “button” for that!
