[standing_on_one_foot]

How many different forms of "um" are out there? "Uh" is another one used here, and then "ehhhhh" is the Israeli one...can anyone else think of other fillers that get used, in any culture?

'Ano' and 'etto' are the japanese equivilents. Not sure other than that...

The most used one here is 'err'

My favorite is the French version, which is pronounced a bit like "Eaaauuueee." (Except shorter, and less zombie-like.) Growing up with my mom, whose Masters was in French language, my sister and I found ourselves unconciously using it a lot.
