Like

The most overused word is ( Like) 
Something I really dislike. 
The young generation 
Would lose communication
If it was erased overnight.

Listening to the university students in London, every other word is "like "and they're supposed to be the educated ones.

I do like like used in it's right context, the younger generation use it after every other word, to them it's a filler word, anyway I do like your reply sister Beryl.
