WRITING TIP No 409
Many of the poorer writing habits (looking at you 'Erm' and 'Welp') persist not because they're actual things people make mouth sounds over but because some people see other people using them so they keep it going.
You have it in you to bust the trend. Do your own thing. You're good enough.

@awesomejohn as a midwesterner, 'welp' is ENTRENCHED in my vocabulary.
'erm' is just a filler noise though. 😂
@pochita Watch yourself in a mirror when you say it.
The 'p' at the end isn't a "puh" or a "pah" sound (with an exhale), it's the bringing of your lips together.
Completely different sound.
