Consider the phenomena of the most formidable linguistic infestation of any language in the history of noises beyond clicks, grunts and twitching - the word: L I K E. It's the omni analogy, used to equivocate everything conceivable, from punctuation, confusion, concrete or abstract meaning, nothing, something, to anything deemed unworthy of minimal effort or patience. Adverbs be damned and banished to hell! We've entered a paradigm where everything is a similarity of itself and nothing is what it is. "How do you feel?" , one might inquire. Only to be informed that the feeling bears similarity (l i k e) to something else. "I feel l i k e shit", one may say. Certainly not shitty, but approximate to shit, with no defining parameters. It is an age come where nothing can be what it is, but only a reference to another thing or its similar self. A linguistically programmed virtual reality, where no one need speak precisely if the smoke of ambiguity and mirrors of distortion can substitute. Now we can have our thing that resembles a cake and do something similar to ingesting it too. Horray.
