‘You Know’ – Obsession
by the Eagle · Filed Under: Who Is In Charge Of You?
How is it that those two words could be so telling – ‘You Know’.
I was listening to an interview the other day on the radio with an
athlete and counted the use of ‘you know’ 47 times in a five minute spot.
Each sentence had at least one inserted.
My response each time was, “no I don’t know, that is why you are being interviewed.”
I do find it appalling that these athletes are provided the best our world can offer.
The basic of any educational teaching should be to public speaking,
just so an individual won’t sound ignorant.
College for four or five years; steady meals they never have to pay for;
weight training second to none; medical attention that is tops;
yet can’t speak a sentence without breaking it up to insert ‘You Know’!
Yes it does annoy me and I can no longer listen to the interviews without laughing.
Politicians do this as well. Reporters are becoming addicted to the phrase.
It takes self discipline and personal responsibility to communicate
in ways that are understandable.
With just a little training, one can talk without interjections – ‘You Know’!
This habit of easy-speak is disheartening and is being picked up
by younger generations – and they do not care. To hear admired people that are
unable to be coherent is the laughing stalk of our country. It shows the
failed education systems that are in place – which receive millions
and millions every year. Where does this money really go?
Why would the teachers union allow this type of teaching to our young people
yet continue to be ‘proud’ of their accomplishments?
Where is their responsibility in teaching?
Or is it just in maintaining their unions, pensions, life styles and political rhetoric?
I would like to believe that if an athlete hears him- or herself interviewed
with these interjections, it would be an embarrassment. Apparently there
remains a lack of self confidence or responsibility here to care.
Since they are receiving millions of dollars for the ‘valuable entertainment’
they provide us, personal effort in communication skills is simply disregarded.
“No I don’t know – that is why you are being interviewed!”
Isn’t it amazing what we allow ourselves to get away with.
No longer does one care what they can bring to the table, however as I get older,
the less I spend to be entertained by these ‘impressive talents’ when I know they can’t speak.
They may have an ability that I never possessed,
but I am unimpressed with their ability to speak – ‘You Know’!
