The incessant use of the preposition; like, as a conjunction in verbal dialogue, victimizes all listeners. It is virally infecting the english language. The listener must wait, while the speaker musters a diluted expression or delayed verb. I suspect that the rampant infection is due to laziness, and or fear of inability to fluently structure thoughts into expressive sentences, while holding the attention of the listener(s). Once the sentence is contaminated with the offensive bridge, there is limited available means by which to close the statement. Offenders that permeate verbalized thoughts with a preposition, forced as a conjunction, offer less descriptive information. A percentage of my time is wasted listening to dialogue padded with useless inclusions. My time is valuable. Quit wasting it.
