How often do you use the above grammatically unsound phrases in casual conversation? Be honest...
I use "seriously" a lot if I'm joking around. And that's usually just online. Rarely use "like," "um" I guess I can say somewhat frequently, and "yeah"... I have no clue.
So, "Once in a while, but I really don't pay attention" it is.
Listening to young, teenage girls talk can be very amusing if you're paying attention to this sort of thing.
Personally, my favourite is "I seen."
Everyone once in a while. Not a whole lot. And when I do I usually don't notice.
yea umm i dno like serusly i have no clue i ummm think i dont use it to much well umm maybe like once in a wile ummm i dno what else to say you know like yea
I rarely use any of them, but I use them nonetheless.
I use them all. Mostly when being sarcastic or trying to wind someone up like.
I use them all once in a while. Saying "Yeah" and "um" are far more often than the others, though, so quite a lot for those two.
I'm probably pretty bad in this aspect. Or maybe not...idk.
only if i'm trying to poke fun at someone/ something
English has a billion exceptions anyway, it's hardly a perfect language. Fuck it.
i find it funny though that a ton of people all over the world know english, yet us americans barely know anything else. i love the good ol' united states of arrogance.
If everyone around the world knows english, what's the point of learning anything else =p
i use "dude" but you didn't mention it so
Very often. I say "like" probably more than anyone here would expect me to do so.
I use "dude" and "like" a lot. :(
I seriously say seriously far too often. Seriously.
I noticed "like" seems to be a very popular phrase amoungst younger people, who grow out of it relatively fast. Happened to me.
I use them sarcastically or in a joke. Especially the word "like." Although yeah, sometimes I say it just due to habit.
When I pee, I feel something like a burning sensation. You know, I can't recall when it started, but... yeah... um... seriously, could this mean something bad?
I use "yeah" and "like" a lot both online and off. I've been cutting back on my consumption of "you know," though.
So I consider myself right in between the top two choices, but I'll choose the top one just so everyone thinks I'm really annoying.

I think you'll find that's our arrogance, thank you very much.
[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]I use to say "Like" a lot when I spoke, but I stopped.
"um" "you know" "Seriously" I don't think I use those a lot.
I would say that "yeah" is the word that keeps coming back, but I'm not trying to stop saying it anyway.[/COLOR]
Add "basically" and you've got my speech.
I say "like" occasionally, and if I'm trying to **** someone off or prolong a conversation I'll open up with a tirade of "seriously, y'know, totally". Also, when I'm talking about someone saying something I'll always be all like "he was all like" out of a sense of irony.
Other than that, my vehemently verbacious vocabulary violates my voluptuous tendencies to violate the vindictive vaudeville that is our venerated mother tongue. Huzzah!
Quite often.. I'm tragically shy, if it's any excuse.
That's why Teddy Roosevelt is on Mount Rushmore.
I don't get it.
He the reason why we spell it color here instead of "colour". And many other words like center, harbor, etc.
LEARNING IS FUN!
[quote=The Judge]I believe we've changed the language and usage of it enough to consider what we speak to be "American."
...what does that have to do with what I quoted or said?

I took that to mean that it's your language, ie. the English language.
When describing something, I'm awfully bad at saying "Like" a lot.
Otherwise, I use "Yeah" and "Um" a lot. Most of the time I know I'm saying them though, it's not something that just comes out.
I always say "you know" and "I dunno". Thats about it.
