Thanks to the uploader.
After 2 hours I counted 14 basically's.
Please join my campaign to eliminate the tedious use of the word 'basically.'
Here is the reasoning::
The word "basically" is an overused verbal tick which demeans and condescends to the listener. It is at the same time a way for the speaker to inflate his own self esteem by flogging and repeating words that appear to emphasize personal knowledge.
It is a fault which has become, I fear, some sort of custom or accepted
colloquialism.
Has anyone here seen Professor Erwin Corey?
A comparison between the two would be interesting.
As to the students engaged in this presentation they have a bright future in academia and will likely never have to stray far from it.
