We had to do a LOT of public speaking in college in my major. If you said "Um or Uh," the professor would mark 1 point off of your grade for every single occurance. The main reason people say Um and Uh is because they think pauses sound weird during presentations, but they really don't. If you just completed a sentence and need to gather your thoughts about the next, don't say Um, just say nothing period. Soon you'll start catching yourself everytime.
