There is a speech pattern that got cranked up about 10 years ago that is most irritating. I call it "Liberal speech" because almost all Libs were doing it. This involves repeated use of "kind of" and "sort of" and "you know." Liberals like to be vague and it leaves all kinds of room for error when you say "kind of" and "sort of" in every other sentence. And if a Lib is really cranked up they will say "kind of" and "sort of" twice each in the same sentence. And after all, if "you know" already then they don't have to explain anything to you.
If you ever watch MSNBC or CNN you will see these speech patterns used incessantly. Very rare to see this on Fox News.
