This is a GREAT article about the lack of proper language and speaking skills seen in our young people and some adults. Some of my pet peeves are covered, such "And I was like, and then he was like" and ending sentences with an inflection on the end, as if they were asking a question. These things drive me nuts. I work with several young people and one in particular uses all of these annoying habits and she sounds like a moron, despite the fact that she has a college degree. Interestingly enough, her mother is a public school teacher. Hmmmmm........... I am happy to say that my one offspring speaks intelligently, properly, with little to no use of slang. I should have been an English teacher.
