What word or term annonys you?

Please don't think I'm here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is 'eeeh' before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I've been pavloved bc it's always used by someone disagreeing. But I'm happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the 'eeeh' or 'erm' that annoys me.

So what's a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying "eeeh actually 'eeh' is a perfectly fine term" would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I've said all this.

Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.

I do this too much. My defence is that I am a bad writer who's working to be better.

Can I suggest joining "the Toastmasters" https://www.toastmasters.org/ . I found it very educational. I learned that was rushing to fill the "dead air" before I had fully formed my thought (read:sentence).

All my "um"s and "er"s disappeared. You will be fine.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm always glad to discover new resources. I'm also forever cursing the fact that science degrees don't put more emphasis on writing and speaking well.

I hear that! Toastmasters was part of my conversation long after it would have been helpful!

Good luck.
