It's like driving me crazy.
I believe that the "Way" statement can more than likely be blamed on Waynes World and not valley girls.

Ok my turn. What about people that over use the word "apperently" (sp?)?

Ohhhh, here's one that bugs the crap out of me.

When someone uses "mines" instead of mine. I have a family member that does that and it makes me want to slap them silly.

Another is when someone pronounces a word like "learned" as "learnt". Herm does that shit in his press conferences.

Pretty much the entire Death of the Adverb does it for me.

Dork: "Man, they played real bad."

Me: "Really badly."

Dork: "Huh?"

Me: "'Real bad' is incorrect."

Dork: "Are you sure?"

Me: ":spock:"

The only item on the OP list that's actually a verbal crutch is "The thing is". All the others are simply grammar/pronunciation issues.

"Learnt" is common in the UK.

Learnt is more common in British English, and learned in American English.

"I was like", when a high schooler or first year chicks at college repeat it 30234234 times, I start to die a little inside every time I hear it.

Yes, it is an odd one. Hell, I actually used "windscreen" instead of "windshield" the other day.

"Herb" is another one. It is NOT "erb." Know why? IT'S GOT A fuckING 'H' IN IT!

However, when bad grammer becomes habit, It's a little more crutchtastic.
