oddtail, Yes, you've seen the CWs correctly. The two things I ramble incoherently and at length about finally met. We're doomed.
Anyway. I noticed I started using the word "like" as a filler word in my posts much, much more often since I came out as trans. I promise it's not a deliberate, forced change. I'm not trying to be stereotypical. (what'd the stereotype even BE)
But it's part of how my register shifted. I'm not fully sure why, but I think it's interesting that it happened.
