I hate the word like. It should only be used for comparison (even then I still cringe because I hear it so often, used incorrectly and I'm not a grammar buff and certainly don't speak well - I just hate like!!!).
I am an accent parasite too, take me anywhere and I start talking like the natives - people think I'm faking, but I don't even notice.
