I think "Like" is now the most used word in the English language I have heard some people use it 7 or 8 times in one sentence while speaking.

Nice... interesting. I always hate when someone replies to a text with just that word...Nice. The old definition certainly would justify my feelings. Maybe I'm just that old.

I don’t think good bye ever meant, “God be with you.” Spanish Adios means, “go with God.” Correct me if I’m mistaken.

Doc :
Redundant to say one syllable word with only one vowel sound since vowel sounds are what define syllables. Thus rhythm we have to consider m as a vowel also spasm, and chasm, etc.
