All of a sudden i found my self thinking sociologically when i was watching Jersey Shore on tv. In Sociology we were talking about Culture and Language. And we had a discussion about how us Americans made the English language shorter and we over use some words too much. For example "like" "ummm" "uuhh" and "so". Of course there is more but this words are the ones that we hear the most.
So as i was watching Jersey Shore, i decided to sit down and count how many times they said "like" "umm" "uhh" and "so". Well they said "like" about 50 times. They said "umm" about 5 times, "uhh" about 5 and "so" about 5 also. I might of missed some but i mean that is a lot of likes umms and uhhs if you ask me.
Our language is getting worse by the minute. But i guess there is nothing we can do for now.
Just listen to the people go on saying "like" about 20 times in one sentence. :D
Ha ha! I can't think of a better place to hear some likes and umms than Jersey Shore :) Why do you think our language seems to be falling aparrt?
