answer:Listening to young Americans talk and using the word ‘like’ intermittently sounds very odd and confusing to me. ‘She had this, like, red dress, and it was all, like, tight and stuff.’ and then using a question inflection at the end. Was it a red dress or not? Was it tight or only ‘like’ tight on her? Are you asking me a question or telling me something? I like all the English accents everywhere, from Australia to New England. I think it is fun to guess where people come from based on their accents, like Henry Higgins. It is hard to say what proper English is these days, but I know poor English when I hear it, if that makes sense.
