Thanks, Deborah. I appreciate the honest feedback. Getting over this issue I have with disfluency since moving back to an English speaking country (and spending a lot of my adult life not speaking English) has been really challenging for me. Apparently I have replaced "like" with "um" now. I'm just not sure that's real progress...I've been going to speech therapy with my son who has a related issue so hope I can improve in the future. Anyway, I continue to work on it. Sorry to hear it was tough to listen to. I hope the information I provided was accurate- I seem to have much more control over that. Take care!
