Saying too much "like" sounds er, like stupid

June 21, 2006

Stop-saying-likeStop-saying-likeI felt like exactly the same thing like a while ago, maybe a couple of months, when I got like used to the life in the US. I think the same thing applies to Japanese as well. Saying “ていうか (= rather, actually)”, “ちょっと (= a little bit)”, “まぁその (= you know)” too much makes yourself sound silly.
