I take my part in being a bad influence very seriously. Guess that makes two of us.

This is literally like so last year. "Literally, It Is What It Is" Yes, this is to be expected. (And appreciated.) NTX gets extra points for pouring salt into a wound I didn’t think he was even aware of. Maybe he got lucky, but he gets credit for it anyway. I don’t remember anything about multiple years of algebra but you hating that phrase is stuck in my brain. Dude, I don’t even remember how long it’s been since I mentioned it, but it’s been awhile. I am seriously impressed. I’m so jaded on that phrase I forgot that I hated it. Not sure why it got stuck in there. There’s also the shoe size of a 5X2 Hoova Crip named Chris stuck in there but please don’t take the association personally.

I don’t. I fully understand how wonky our memories are. I can recall the most useless facts, but when I really need to remember something, it’s not there.

So, what about sentences that start with "so"?

…is the new “like.” People use it far more than they used to. It’s become a filler word. It’s used when it doesn’t make sense to use it. It’s used when nobody could possibly confuse the statement as being figurative. (Thanks for clearing that up, woman. I wasn’t sure if the sandwich you made was literal or figurative. Now I know you’re making real sandwiches. What a load off of my mind.) People use it so much that I don’t want to use it, anymore, even when I have a legitimate use for the word. I can’t help but notice this, and I feel like it does the exact same thing that using “like” too much does. It makes a person sound less intelligent than they might actually be. A lot of people will find this observation insignificant or even wrong. It may be the former but is certainly not the latter, and if you haven’t noticed yet, you will once you’re paying attention to it. It’s all you will hear, and you’re welcome. I happen to think a person’s speech matters. I think the English language matters. When you overuse anything, you will wear it out. This applies to words as much as anything. (And questions marks, Stub!) We’ve addressed “like” many times, but I haven’t seen any of us address this newest beating of a word. This is just my observation. Do with it what you like.
Also, “absolutely” is the next word being rode hard and put up wet. We’ll address that one when it’s foundered as badly as like and literally. ? R U Talking about you Sneaky little bastage???? After reading the first two sentences of your post, I literally knew that I was going to be dipped in the English language 101 outhouse Math and females were my strong suit, everything else was just that, everything else!

freerange must live under a rock. All the grammar problems mentioned are very common in the semi-country and even more so in the suburbs.
This forum is full of syntax and spelling errors as well. There's a "you should sale it and get a ..." comment I read this morning in a topic about 5.56 vs 6.5 Grendel barrels/uppers.
Don't get me started and the misuse of commas...
So, like, we all need to literally check ourselves, before we try to sale an item, here.
Pass the gravy.

In the past I thought about opening a Word document first, then typing in my comments for spell checking my nonsense then copying and pasting on here. Then I thought F that, we are not conversing in an online grammar school or writing love letters to a prospective girlfriend, we are sharing BS on a Hunting Forum with a bunch of Redneck Bubba's MF'ers

And periods there are some folks on here who will write three paragraphs as one big long sentence it gives me a headache reading that and makes me wonder where they went to school I'm not poking fun because high school was the best eight years of my life it just makes me wonder doesn't it make you wonder too.

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

I hear it more so in the under 35 crowd , not all of them. “ Like” is used so often by my kids ( in their 20’s ) they don’t know how to speak without using the word.

Add “utilize” to the list. People use it to sound educated, but it’s a stupid word that doesn’t convey anything “use” can’t.

Yet I saw a post on another (smaller) forum Wednesday that had about four times the proper number of commas. It was not just a run-on sentence, there were commas where there was no break in speech. Weird...
Pass the gravy.

For younger people, there is NO other word more overused than "like."
"It's like, umm, like, aaa, it's like, I mean, like ya know, it's like..."
