Also, I bet it is more socially acceptable to take a beat and think before speaking than you think. I learned that for myself and it helped. Itβs not as jarring as you might think. It can even make people appreciate what you say more. If itβs really taking long, you can stall a bit with some βI need to think about that one, hmmβ lines.
I only say data the way itβs said in Star Trek. Same for database.
