Letter: Inconsistent meter usage time is annoying, you know

Saturday, Jan. 17, 1998 | 6:47 a.m.

My other complaint is the two words "you know." When I heave this in conversation, on TV, telephone, etc., I really don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have to be told something I already knew.

When Diane Keaton was interviewed with Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler about their movie, "First Wives' Club," almost every other word out of Miss Keaton's mouth was "you know." I'm so glad she can read a script and not have to improvise. I know she has the right to continuously say "you know." I change the TV to other channels such as sports, news, etc., but, if you listen, you will hear the same "you know." Stop and listen to yourself and others and see if you are one of those "you know" addicts.
