“Er” and “erm” always throw me. It’s “uh” and “um” here, I don’t make the rules.

Sooooo I also say “er” and “erm” because I read it in British books as a kid. But as an adult I found out that in Britain “er” is actually pronounced similar to “uh” (with a British accent). It’s just a different spelling.https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/67573/why-do-americans-say-uh-and-um-and-british-people-say-er-and-erm …
