Seeing the problem is sometimes the beginning of the solution, so thank you. But the barriers caused by filler phrases, kewl talk, and expletives isn't just on the part of children and teens.
On a recent People's Court TV broadcast, I saw by closed captions a 24-year-old repeating a conversation:
"I was like ya know who're you to diss me, and she's all like she's I mean so glitter and we're like so gutter what crap ya know." Ha ha ha, the judge had to stop and ask for a translation.
You're right; it's pure hell for speech readers.
