Do your children use the word "literally" in just about every sentence. My 30-year-old son doesn't but my 24-year-old daughter certainly does. Every generation finds a word to hang it's hat on I guess. "Cool", "Groovy", "Far-Out", "Dope", a new one is "Clutch" and of course the dreaded "Literally". The problem arises when a generation becomes dependent on a particular word or phrase, overusing them. Grammar crutches is the way I describe it. The phrase, "No Problem" is one I currently can't stand. A bar in New York is so fed up with people using the word "literally" that it will throw out any customer who says it.
There is so many things happening in our country right now, we need to talk about something that can make us all us happy. I just found out that a "Bob Ross Chia Pet" exists in this world, and I'm drowning in my tears of joy.
What if you were dining at one of your favorite restaurants when you spotted a rat. You tell your server what you've seen. What would you expect the restaurant to do?
