This sociologist tried to listen to an interview, recently, with a "popular" TV personality. "You know" was inserted 19 times within a ten minute interview. It became so irritating that this guy signed off for better things to do, like preparing Cajun Dirty Rice from scratch, sans fiery hot spices.
What's going on in our American society that more and more persons cannot communcate using reasonable forms of the standard English language? I've already addressed the use of..."ahs...uhs...ums" in an earlier blog. A Toastmaster grad would be aghast at listening to some of our public speakers and governmental "leaders" while they TRY to communicate to thousands of fellow Americans!
