Came across this nerd click bait and loved it. I've identified a lot of these linguistic hobbles in my own speech and writing, and I've been on a mission to eradicate them for about a year now. The opportunity to edit has made it a manageable task in my writing (when I remember), but I've barely made any headway in speech. For now, it remains a struggle, but I hope some of you will join me!

I mean, they missed "I mean..."--A.c.S
I use a ton of these words! Good to know!! Time for some self-improvement.
Haha I've come across this sort of thing myself. I remember an article like this telling me to stop saying "just" in emails... just wondering, just checking, just thinking... and I also read how saying "honestly" before anything tarnishes your credibility. That's been hard to take out of the speech drawer, but I try! You're not alone!
Well, actually, that is a fantastic article. I honestly can't think of any other words. That seriously covered everything. I'm totally informed now. In a weird way I think I've always known this you know? Obviously that is literally the best list of words and phrases.
In all seriousness (I bet you this is another one, sort of cliche and over used) I love thinking about stuff like this. Thanks for sharing.
