I asked
one question on my profile on Quora and booooom… many answers were proposed to
that simple question. After checking some of them out, I came across this article
written by Alexandra D’Arcy, who studies the history of like at University of
Victoria.
And “using
centuries-old texts, personal letters, court documents and even CBC Radio
archives from B.C. settlers, she shows that "like" may be increasing
in use, but it's not random or a new phenomenon”.
If you
think you should read (and listen to) it, I would strongly recommend you to
take some minutes in order to read it here (Like,
don't blame 'like' on kids these days, says sociolinguist)
