These are some great articles. I especially enjoyed the one on "like"... I've often thought about the different ways but didn't have the appropriate grammatical names for them. It often serves an important purpose in how I mean to convey a thought.
I am recorded by a court reporter for my job a couple times a month. I noticed how much more often I use "you know" when I'm trying to make sure that the folks I'm speaking to are coming along with me on my thoughts. And I feel validated in the use of "you know" as described in the article.
Looking forward to tomorrow's podcast... I'm interested in hearing you interview Emily and vice versa.
Thank you for another amazing round up of articles. These quick bits are usually very enlightening and proving to be more and more timely for me. I just read an article that made me feel worried/bad about using filler words. So definitely appreciated the "VINDICATED" link/shout out. :)
I read an article on using the word "Just" years ago that said something like it's some kind of sign of submissive feminized filler word and ever since I cringe at hearing myself use it, edit it out, etc. So: I understand. Let's use all the filler words.

I'm definitely both a "like" and "you know" kind of woman.
