Like, I think I just sat through like the worst conversation ever!
So, I decided to look up the word like, in the dictionary and see what the definition of it had become and to my surprise. There are 29 definitions of like, and 5 of them are informal and one of them is:
-conjunction, Informal . (used esp. after forms of be to introduce reported speech or thought): She's like, "I don't believe it," and I'm like, "No, it's true!"
It's a major pet peeve of mine along with um...but it seems that "like" has now been accepted by Websters.
Anyone else have words that are pet peeves that are now "accepted"?
