Yes, I forgot about her.  Never have cared for her.

Re: Erase UHM from the English Language

Can you imagine talking about some of the products sold?  I'd say a 1000 ums during many of them just trying to find the words to sell them.

Re: Erase UHM from the English Language

There are a few host that can go without interjecting the "UMMMM".  From the past, Kathy Levine NEVER had this habit........MBR is excellent, also.  Just mentioning this so that we realize it can be done.  If you get an opportunity to watch HSN, there is a very pretty gal (Can't remember her name), who NEVER uses the UM.....it can be done!
