It really seems to take away from the person and language. Though its origins are probably many years ago from Valley Girls in California, it really picked up in the mid/late 90s. I often voiced my concerns then. Sadly I now see it being used by Brits and the rest of the English speaking world.

Zooey Deschanel was once recorded saying it 56 times within a 2 minute segment on a talk show.
