This is exactly how my videos look before I edit the living shit out of them. Can you tell me what you think about my Kat Stacks video? This isn't spam!! I really liked the lists on the upper left corner..I bet that made this a bitch to edit.

Very interesting video, thank you for doing this.. my ums and ers annoy me, but it's good to know about the reason and the wider context of such things.

Another great "focused" video, I like the topic as well. You might find this interesting, I actually knew a guy at my former high school who was extremely and abnormally talented musically. I rarely (some classes literally never) heard him say "uh" or make hesitations in his speech, but yet he was very creative and funny. He wasn't "slow" either in his speech. It was strange because his brother was like that as well. I would even ignore what he was saying sometimes just to count the uhs.

Jeff, this was unbelievably fucking fascinating to watch. I actually feel more self-aware for having seen it. I can see why this subject is so compelling to you.
Ironically, it leaves me with more questions than I had before, which might be a good reason to pick up "Um" or one of the other books you mentioned. I still wish you had spent a bit more time unpacking the word "manipulative" in this context, but in any case thank you for the time you spent on this video.
Feels like a gift.

"This is fucking amazing."
Wow. When you said that right there, it just hit me. Here's this guy, communicating the fact that he can communicate and that it's... amazing. Yeah. It is.
Also, I did look up spoonerisms on wikipedia and the section there on kniferisms and forkerisms would seem to contradict what you said with which language parts might be switched during speech.
