10th Anniversary of "Clueless"

Here's a great article I just read...

This week marks a milestone -- a tragic one, some would say -- in the history of American English. Ten years ago this week, the movie "Clueless," starring Alicia Silverstone, was released. And our language was, like, forever changed.

Not only does it strike me as funny that someone is writing an article about the 10th anniversary of Clueless, but there also happens to be some good linguistics in this article! So, if you want to read a bit about the linguistics of Californian speech... here's the place. :-D
