'Like'

Today in class I started to notice how often people use the world 'like' when they speak. It is a habit that I recently realized too many people in my generation have picked up. Unfortunately I have to include myself in the 'like' generation however I am trying to lose it as quickly as is possible. 

Once I started noticing how often others, and myself for that matter, use the word like I became instantly agitated every time I heard the word. 

I mean like its not like we actually write like with the word like all the time because like it is like not grammatically correct like.

Although the previous sentence might be an over exaggeration it proves my point as to how annoying the word is. I can be almost positive that not one of you can go re read that sentence and not want to blow a fuse.

Therefore I propose a challenge to everyone who has fallen into the like trap. How about we all try to go one day without using the word like. It may mean that you have to pause a couple of times while speaking but at the end of the day it may help you improve your conversation skills. 

I will certainly try to accomplish this and wish everyone else good luck with the challenge!
