Like.. thats how they talk in west hollywood! :huh:

I just remembered a good one: back in 1992 there was a major earthquake in San Francisco, which levelled several neighborhoods and a freeway overpass. The female reporter was a perfect example of what Rush Limbaugh likes to call "infobabes". When she was reporting on the status of rescue operations she let slip this glorious flub: "We are efforting to make contact with the rescue station..."

I don't know but it's funny when a reporter slips up. :lol:

Like, whats the problem? :p

Avon, that's like so kewl! Like, totally awesome.

Thanks for sharing that, fer sure.

Well, it has been used as a verb for a pretty long time, but many people do not like it.

Interesting, especially the Bartleby reference that 'contact' is now readily accepted as a verb. I understand that language changes constantly, and my generation's misuse will be the next generation's accepted usage. It just drives the anal-retentive among us crazy.

I sometimes have the same feeling when I see people of my own generation (I'm 24 years old) who make serious grammatical errors.

du u men lke spellng?

fonix lerned me gud. :yep:

There are times I lament the removal of the Reputation function. :yep:

I certainly would be handing out tons of it on this thread! :rotfl:

What bugs me is when people end every sentance with an interogative whether it is or not.

"So, we were going downtown?, like, to see the show? and on the way?, it started to rain?


Argh!:damn:

There is ACTUALLY a Harpoon forum where the idiots talk JUST LIKE THAT! :nope:

The company's tech rep actually responds to support questions with, "Dude..." and "Man...."

Sometimes, I feel that I've dropped into an episode of Fast Times at Ridgmont High. :damn:

These are thirty-something-year-olds trying to sound cool! The most pathetic thing I've seen in awhile. One guy is referred to as being the 'baddest pimp daddy in town' :rotfl:

How about this.

We were going downtown to see the show, unfortunate on the way it started to rain.

One thing that really bugs me is when people keep saying right. :damn:

EG
Right now, I got you all here right, to tell you this right, first the good news right, then the bad right, right after I tell you everything right, I shall open the floor up right, for questions right. OK right here we go right.............

I used to have a boss who could not stop saying right. :damn:
