Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has a speech affliction unusual to someone with his academic and political accomplishments.
The most frequent is “Um”, with “Ahh” being used less.
The following examples of the main affliction are from the author’s collection:
“Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um

Bob Hoye (BobHoye.com) has been researching investments for decades, which eventually included the history of financial and political markets. He considers now to be the most fascinating time for both since the Great Reformation of the 1600s. Bob casts a caustic eye on all promotions and, having a degree in geophysics, is severely critical of the audacity that a committee can “manage” not just the economy, but also the temperature of the nearest planet. He has had articles published in major financial journals and, as a speaker, has amused assemblies in a number of cities, from London to Zurich to Tokyo.
