McCollough definitely has a point. My idea of an articulate person does not involve the word crutches "like", "um" or "ya know" sprinkled liberally throughout every statement. It is astounding how many people are judgmental about others, while they themselves can't communicate a simple thought. Sad, when you think about it.
