The word "like"

The word "like" is used all day, everyday.  I don't think a single person says a sentence without using the word "like".  There is no use for the word but it is thrown in there all the time. I find it annoying when someone is talking and they use it three times in one sentence.  I know a few people that say "like" more times than the other words in the sentence!  I don't believe those people deserve all the blame because it is how they grew up.  People these days grow up with others that use it so of course they will too.  I honestly think I never say it but who knows, I might.
