I've never encountered something I really wanted to do that I wasn't able to accomplish. So, I'm confident once I actually take the time and put some effort into it, I'll be able to at least significantly decrease the occurrence. I hope. :) And yeah, I didn't get the SPJ group version of the lecture. It was always one on one personal attacks on my vocabulary. But the silence idea is a good one. I'll practice that and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the advice and the good luck wishes.

I always thought it sounded so lame, and it was much easier to break myself of the habit than I thought it would be. A suggestion: Anytime you want to say "like," take a pause. I found that I used it when I was trying to think, and the silence made me uncomfortable. When I talk to people, the silence is considerably less annoying than "like." 'Tis a noble quest you're on — good luck! I feel the need to say this b/c I was so proud of myself for doing so: I stopped saying “like” after Tim talked to us at an SPJ meeting.
