Sorta

Hi,I'd like to ask a question: as for the word "sorta", generally speaking, how many meanings does it have if the word appears before verbs. could you please list that?Take the following content I saw on the web for example, what does the word sorta mean in it? Thank you! "Oh yea I like the Mets, my buddy actually plays for the Mets, David Wright. We went to the same school together. I also am good friends with the Uptons (Justin & B.J.). Mike Cuddyer too, he’s on the Twins. We all sorta grew up together, going to the gym. I’ve played sports my whole life. I was kind of one of those, jack-of-all trades guy..."

'Sorta' is not a word. It is a transcription of the casual pronunciation of 'sort of' and should be used only in reproducing or representing dialogue. We sort of grew up together = we spent a lot of time together as children.
