The reason that I stand by my subject heading is that not one of the characters says 'Like' every other word, like people do in, like, the real world.
Linguists agree that usage of the word has increased every year since 1992, to the point where in one five-minute exchange on Love Island in 2017, the word was uttered 76 times, once every four seconds.
So in order to be, like, real, Emmerdale, please ensure that 'Vocal Fry',(the sound of gargling frogs when you're talking) 'Upspeak' (so everybody sounds, like, they're asking a question???), and, like, 'Like' are filling the script satisfactorily.
Like, thanks.
