I&#x27;m a 40 y&#x2F;o proud GenX&#x27;er (best generation ever!) who has a 21 y&#x2F;o daughter AND just went back to university to finish my degree–so I&#x27;m knee-deep in Millennials.<p>In my experience, Millennials <i>don&#x27;t</i> talk like this <i>in-person</i>. I do see a little bit of it in SnapChat, YikYak and Instagram. In fact, my wife says &quot;totes&quot; more than any 20-something I&#x27;ve witnessed. Other &quot;words&quot; I&#x27;ve seen used a lot during app communication are &quot;bruh&quot;, &quot;fam&quot;, and &quot;af&quot;.<p>But when I observe 2 Millennials talking in person, the only way they butcher the English language is by using the word &quot;LIKE&quot; 4 times per sentence. Makes me cringe every time!
