Awesome I quite like.
Somebody mentioned dude which I dislike intensely too. However I really only come across it here or speaking to some Americans as it is not commmonly used by Brits.
I really dislike American expressions being used by Brits. They just don´t ring true at all.
I´m glad I live in Spain where they have their own unique terms of expression, not borrowed as the Brits tend to do from the Americans.
However, whether we like it or not,the English language is permanently evolving and developing. New words and expressions are coined and existing words change their meaning as society, culture and technology progress.
I have to keep on top of these changes as an English teacher to non-native speakers, and my guru is Professor David Crystal who is is one of the world's foremost experts on language.

Ya, like I know what you mean
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Can I just tell you something?
I agree with the "How are you", cause they just keep talking before you can answer.
My number 1 pet peeve is when you walk into the office in the morning and say "Good Morning" and no one answers.
What's up with that?
Just to name a few.

I agree, coming from a British Mum, having a dughter in College in the US, you may imagine the mix up I have....
But as Technology evolves...so does language, and yes, it is quite true that Brits pick up American language, meaning Teenagers, not Adults...
Awsome.....right.....
