  Hey Simon,
  
  So it's been a while since you made this post. How's the speaking going? :)
  
  My own "word" to avoid is "errrm". I remember when I recorded my first video blog. It was five minutes long and there must have been 30 "errms". When it came around to the next video blog, I actively tried to remove them from my speech. Two or three worked their way in there but overall it was much improved.

  Hey Jamie, thanks for dropping by. I made a bit of an improvement by the end of the training sessions, but there's always going to be room for improvement!
  
  Errrms are a big one for me too. I'm trying to work out something to replace them with and I'm just pausing for a bit each time at the moment (errrming in my head, rather than out loud). This gives me a chance to work out where to go next without looking too obvious :)
  
  I'll drop by and check out your videos, I won't be looking out for the errms though!
