Sort of, redux

I might have enjoyed this interview on the radio tonight, but I ended up screaming (literally) instead. 36 instances of "sort of" (thanks for an honest transcript, Fresh Air) in less than 24 minutes. And Terry Gross talks nearly half that time, so he was averaging roughly 3 "sort of"s per minute.

Please, if you're going on national TV or radio, please learn to swallow the "sort of".
