Yes!  There is one person in particular I think of right now who is always saying
that, and many times I just want to scream out "NO I DO NOT KNOW" because what I'm
supposed to be "knowing" is all in his mind. Gah. We're in a carpool together and
it's maddening.

A peeve of mine is "uh" every three or four words. I do understand the search for
the correct word but "uh" sure breaks the flow if it's said over and over and over
and ...  One guy I used to have to speak with regularly on the phone.. it got to the
point I was keeping track of the "uh" more than the other words - hash-marks on
paper!  Absurd.

Now.  I'm off to drink more coffee!  Have a good day, everybody! :) Thanks for the
amusing posts about "you know"... dang that meme.
