| Words Of Wisdom said: Most people say "uh" and "um" a lot when they talk. It's somehow seen as more intelligent to do that than pause for a brief amount of time to collect your thoughts. |
Well I think it's also used as a space filler so that people know that you plan to continue talking, and you're still thinking the conversation out. It seems to flow a lot easier than random, inconsistent pauses in your speech.
At least, that's what I've thought of.
