in a long line of linguistic pet peeves:
The slurred phrase "You Know'a'im sayin'?!" does not need to be inserted after every 3rd word spoken.
Know what I'm sayin'?
It also is not a substitute or placeholder for a comma, a semi colon, a period, or any other form of verbal punctuation.
Know'a'im sayin'?
I sat on the bus this morning wishing I had a pencil so I could gouge out my ears and a penknife so I could cut out her tongue:
*VERBATIM*
Know'a'im sayin?!
This is not attack on black people, the woman I heard today on the bus was white, or at least mixed race.
