Um, ah, eh and like - NOT amateur radio

Have you noticed how many young people say "like"? 

At one time this bothered me, but it is the new "um","ah" or "eh". Language is always evolving. 

Recently I noticed how often we say "um", "ah" or "um".  I counted 4 in a very short period.

Hello Roger, I do say "eh" a lot of times. I noticed that when I had to speak on my fathers funeral last summer. But did you ever notice that some people don't do that? Like people that have to think very fast for instance F1 drivers. I think it is also a matter of training yourself. 73, Bas PE4BAS
