Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Hahahaha"

When did the fine art of conversation go by the way of properly pronounced English? Who decreed that the greeting of standard should be Hello how are you doing? when one does not even want to know the answer to this meaningful question? When did the vernacular varieties of our wonderful language begin to hold so much standing within the group mindset of our culture that it is tolerated enough to use it when it should not be used? There is a time and a place for being nonchalant and superfluous in our words. That being said, I would like to state that I am of the opinion that the gross and unjust usage of these so-called acceptable words and/or phrases be stricken from the collective consciousness of our modern day society.
How can we be of the mindset that we must govern nations other than our own when there are too many issues/problems with our own that stem from the misunderstanding of our very words? When I greet someone with a Hello or How are you today? I would like them to understand that I would like to wish them a greeting or am posing a serious question into their very lives up until that point and excluding all which has been previously stated in other conversations. I would honestly like to know how they are doing that day. When someone walks by and, for all intents and purposes, grunts at my greetings and salutations, it cause me to feel as though my opinions and concerns at that particular moment concerning their well-being are null and void in their mind.
How am I to place my trust and hold someone to a higher standard when they use the word like on such a regular basis that it spews forth from their mouth every two or three words? Again a time and a place for all I agree. When you are in a very important meeting with the heads of your corporation / administration however, your district manager should not utter said word at such regular intervals. It causes me to believe that this person is no different from me, which in turn causes me to lose trust in them as I know that I am fallible and would have liked to think that they were not. Or at least to such an extent that they would not make mistakes that could hinder or adversely affect my very likelihood (i.e., my job).
So I cry foul! We must break off the shackles of this hive mind that we call society and rebel against them! We must say that we will not fall into their ranks! We will better ourselves at a mental level and agree to use proper English in our everyday conversations! We will not allow our society to degrade to such a level that our very leaders and captains are speaking in the same outlandish way than the man hobbled and humble down the road on the side of the street! We will hold ourselves to be better and to grow in such a way that our very speech will be that of the glorious days of old; a day when proper language and pronunciation was so commonplace that even children knew to pronounce Library properly and not as lie-berry.
For gods sakes theres an R after the B.
