I heard this lady interviewed on the radio a few days ago. Almost every paragraph had a sentence that started with "like" in it. To my mind, she came off as a total ditz.
Notice that even here in a tightly edited and controlled magazine-format conversation, her dialog is peppered with "likes."
Some of her comments struck me as strange or as perhaps not well researched. Had I not heard her speak or not read this Q/A where she seems attached to "so" and "like," I might have given her the benefit of the doubt. But given all this, I am not sure how scholarly her work actually is.
You guys should make sure you do not fall into this trap.
