The smoking gun of our nation’s mounting illiteracy is the ever-increasing use of the word “like.”
Now I’m not saying I don’t use it from time to time, but some folks - yes, you small fry mostly - can’t get through a sentence without it.
Why “like” as opposed to, say, “defoliant?” It’s because one is trying to express oneself but is incapable of doing so, so they instead describe not what something “is” but rather what it is “like.”
Kinda scary. (Yes, “kinda” is a word….)
