Verbal Tics

Verbal tics are just verbal quirks that get in the way. Like that one word that you always say instead of the other word you meant to say.

• Autocorrect: The autocorrect feature on your phone is just a verbal tic in disguise.
• Word Choice: Have you ever found yourself saying 'the thingamajig' when you meant to say 'the thing'? That's a verbal tic.
• Ums and ahhs: Those are just verbal tics too, but they're also just really annoying.
