I Mean
Ever notice today that alot, A LOT, of people, especially professionals, say “I MEAN” when they talk.
“There are a lot of people who do this. I mean, there are many people who do this”.
This started so many years ago – and personally, I believe that it replaces “Ummmm” before or during a talk.
To those who aren’t professionals, that’s fine to me. But, if you are a public person, especially in Public Relations, what the H**L do you think you are doing by saying this? It means that you are NOT thinking about what you are saying.
I mean, you must start to think about the words that will flow from your lips, I mean, you don’t have to say I mean, it is just a silence filler as you try to think of your next words.
Whatever happened to professional people speaking professionaly?
