People who think they know everything about you, your situation, and the world in general are typically skilled in debate. “Verbal skills are just as important today; that means that those who have them will rise to the top of almost any profession.”In the past, print media edited out any fillers that an interviewee might have uttered, Strate noted. They take up time and add no value.” U.S. President Barack Obama addresses his year-end news conference in the White House briefing room in Washington, Dec. 20, 2013. Oh, like... my dad? Linguists call interjections like “you know” and “like” and “um” and “I mean” and a multitude of others “filler” or “discourse particles” – that is, an unconscious device that serves as a pause in the middle of a sentence as the speaker gathers his or her thoughts but wants to maintain the listener’s attention.

Kennedy and the current U.S. ambassador to Japan, may be the all-time “filler champion.” The current occupant of the White House, Barack Obama, is also enamored of fillers, though not to the same extent as Caroline Kennedy. People like this have learned how to construct arguments that suit their purposes. For them, "you know" has become an accepted part of daily speech.Even prominent public figures use fillers quite often, sometimes excessively. As for high-profile public figures like Obama, Kennedy and Weinstein speaking with so many fillers, Fox lamented that no one is immune from this behavior.

It is sad that out present president abuses these "bad habits", along with saying "um" many, many times during most of his conversations. On the evening of Jan. 17, Hollywood film mogul Harvey Weinstein appeared as a guest on Piers Morgan Live on CNN to discuss his plan to make a movie that will attack the National Rifle Association and to respond to accusations that his films portray the Catholic Church negatively. Saying "you know" several time during a conversation is just a "bad habit". They're forceful in presenting their own arguments, but they're not open to your ideas. I'm from CHINA and I don't know english!Hello, Playstation--- and welcome to English Forums.It could be a learned or copied filler phrase, but the particular phrase might also betray more.
