The Importance of Fillers in Discourse

In his new book, David Frum takes a look at some of the things he doesn't like about English. He says it's not just swearing and spelling that should be banned but also fillers in discourse. The U.S. does not have an official language so there has been attempts to ban different languages throughout its 200-plus year history. But education can still play a role by teaching people how social restrictions affect their speech - even if they don't realize it.
