I literally cringe when I hear non-native English speakers use “like” as a filler. Maybe it’s because I’m, like, a non-native speaker?

@stilkov then I strongly suggest to avoid any travels to California... Valleyspeak seems to be the norm for the young generation nowadays :(

@stilkov hah, I'd actually see it the other way, native speakers should know better, foreigners don't have to be perfect :)
