        eliminating them from writing is what's important. Everyday speech? Nah, we'd be fucking robots. The ums and uhs make us human

        Same type of filler. Time frame is irrelevant. People should stop it.

        Exactly ! These are indications of being unsure, and the lack of confidence. Spontaneity is the key to fluency & confidence.
