I just noticed.
I made a list of the words people (we) often use whenever they speak in front of a crowd.
First stop: 'Basically'. In every beginning of the sentence, people say 'Basically'. Let's give the definition of the word shall we? The word 'basically' when you SHIFT + F7 it, means 'fundamentally; when you come right down to it; chiefly'. So guys, should there be an event where you cannot avoid but use the word, be sure to use it appropriately.
Next stop: 'Actually'. (The word can even start with an 'Umm'. Like this: 'Umm, actually...'. Whadda??) Guys, again, actually is the simpler term for 'in fact'. And we don't always say 'in fact' right?. Can you imagine saying 'in fact' whenever you start a sentence? No way. Same with actually. Don't waste your saliva with these words. People say 'actually' or 'basically' when they are thinking of the things they need to say next. This is when brain starts to churn her precious brain cells and scavenge for words she needs to supply to her precious master. ;-)Mahirap na trabaho ng brain.
Third jeepney stop: 'You Know'. Hanep! I don't know noh! 'You know' starts with a 'Well'. Like this: 'Well, you know...' Oh well I don't know. Again, don't waste your saliva. Saying 'you know' is similar with saying 'I don't know how to put/verbalize it'. So stop.
So far, I only have three. I will get back to this post if ever i will have more things i cannot stomach.
