I wish I could eliminate 'like' from my conversation. I do try and make a conscious effort to reduce 'umm' and 'err' but someone 'like' keeps slipping into casual conversation.
I'm much better in professional settings and I have a tendency to pause when stuck, rather than fill in with filler words. Casually and socially I'm much more likely to fall back on useless terms.
It is a very tricky habit to escape. I wonder if you could build an all for that, that listened to your speech and buzzed when it picked up filler words?
