Like, you know, um, kinda bad

What do you get for your $46,050 per year tuition to Duke University? Apparently not any classes on public speaking.

I cringed through a longer than necessary interview on NPR with Ryan McCartney, editor of the Duke University student newspaper, on the way home from work yesterday. He was commenting on Duke student's reactions to the announcment that the remaining three accussed Duke lacrosse players had been exonerated.

Every other word was "like", "y'know", "kinda", "sorta" or "um". And "um" isn't even a word, fer christsakes. Y'know is on the borderline, in my book.

Dude, you're on the radio. Think before you speak.


Um....yeah.

Um....yeah.
