I had that conversation with my son about ten years ago. I just asked him to listen for it himself. About a year later, he said I was right. He’s 26 now.

I’m currently trying to break my students of ending every sentence with a high inflection of voice.

If you start using "like" three times in every sentence you speak to her she will stop.

Hailey Van Lith went thru a period of overusing “like” prior to her one season at LSU.

She didn’t, like, do that in older HS interviews (shown, like, in the first 5 mins of the video) before attending Louisville:
