I'd like to make a New Year's Resolution for everyone in the English speaking world, and it's this:
Please resolve to stop saying "you know" when speaking.
This is a real pandemic and a plague. It makes listening to many people so unpleasant that I find I don't hang around to listen to the end of what they are trying to explain to me and the rest of their audience.
So all of you; and if you took the trouble of listening to yourselves from time to time, your know who you are; on radio and on YouTube, please, please stop it this year. I don't want to name names because there are so many who do it.
Happy New Year!

There, I've said it.
