Free advice: Vocal disfluencies, also known as filler words, are picked up by the audiences that the speaker, or instructor is presenting to. (examples: Umm, uhh, like, & you know.) The speaker may not realize that they are doing it, but it is very noticeable to those watching or listening to the presentation. This could be caused by Nervousness/speaking too quickly, inadequate preparation time, and infrequently used words that are difficult for the speaker to remember while presenting. A good way to notice what your “filler” word(s) are is to practice your speech in front of a few people and have them identify which word(s) you repeat constantly. Have them count how many times you say it throughout your speech & you may be very surprised at the number they give you. Do this before your “big day” so you have it fresh in your mind, and will not say the word as many times as when you practiced. Another way, Record your speech then afterwards, watch the video and you will quickly realize the words and how many times you said it. This can improve your public speaking. But, it’s better to pause briefly and recollect your thoughts then it is to say umm, uhh, like, & you know multiple times throughout your speech. In the first 1 minute of this speech, I counted about 20 times that uhh, umm, & you know, were being used, combined. No telling how many more there were between all the speakers.
We’re in a desert. We’re in a drought. We’re building new construction like there’s no tomorrow. Where DO you think you’re going to get the water for all these people? Out the other hypocritical side of govt mouths is the idea of “slow the flow” or “skip the strip.” How about we put a moratorium on high density new construction? If people can’t move here, they can move somewhere else! We have a problem and no one is addressing the obvious issue. We CAN control the population growth here. Are we really going to look like Arizona?
