    Unfortunately the word "like" has this ability too. I never used to be a user of the recurring word "like" but over the years have become fairly bad with it. I have also noticed a lot of people who do it as well and that includes people in the professional world. It is a scary infiltration of the correct use of our language. I was horrified the other day that I had even used it in the incorrect manner in a text message. We face a war we don't even know we are losing. :P

    Edit: It would seem another enemy of the English language is the use of typing with phones. It feels as though no matter how cautious I try to be in typing my messages, I always end up with at least one bazaar mutation of a word I intended. I have however deliberately limited the auto-correction on my phone as I find that although I don't get mutations anymore, I get words that have absolutely nothing to do with the intended word and in fact it reaches a point where it seems like my phone is deliberately trying to sabotage my messages. I'll also admit that I have not really given swipe typing a chance.
