PLEASE temper your use of the word "like". After a while, its overuse is grating and distracting. Madeline was particularly awful in this regard. Try listening to yourselves and count the times "like" is used.

Actually, their overuse of the word "like" isn't amenable to using the synonyms you suggest, because they're mostly using "like" as a filler, instead of "um", or simply a pause. It's a habit - and an extremely annoying one!

Annoying? I can’t say I even noticed it!
