Okay, it's you and me, snowy. We'll open East- and West-coast branches of English Majors People Smacking, Incorporated.
I find that knowing what I'm saying is the biggest thing that cuts down my umming. I do a lot of public speaking, and I do it from a set of bullet points where what I want to say is laid out. I can work FROM those notes (in other words, I'm not just reading from the book), but I'm never lost or thinking on my feet or shooting from the hip.
