I'll try.

I usually do not use colloquialisms while talking. I don't speak terrific english, but most people don't cringe when I start rambling. Anyway, one problem I do have is the usage of "like". I've used that word excessively even before I came to Dubya land, and it's gotten worse over the years. Like, you know, how you say like when you're just talking, like to your friends and like, you're all like "I want to eat Italian today" and your friend's all like "Like, I just ate I shouldn't go swimming for 2 hours". Eh. You get the idea.

So. I promised myself today that I'll stop using that word unless I actually need to compare two things. The kid usually corrects my grammar and horrendous spelling, so I'm putting her in charge.

Also I discovered yesterday that there are few things in this world more lethal than 20-something pissed-off drunk, blond, very political republicans. At least they bought me a beer. W00t!
