jn2nActually, thenorthernbloke did a boo entirely without ums and errs once, and it was completely weird and really difficult to listen to.
But I know what you mean about improving speech and sounding more fluent. I'm trying that too, and failing frequently... :-)
macolganInteresting stuff Jana .. know we all do it to greater or lesser extents. Some on audioboo hardly ever .. Simon does very short ones immediately in front of - almost adjoining a word.... hardly notice it at times.
I don't mind doing it, just want to make my speech more fluent in boos. Seldom if ever do it in normal life :|
It is interesting though to hear how others "fill the gaps " :)
