Remove filler words such as uh, um, er, hmm, uh-uh, or mm-hmm unless it adds crucial meaning, e.g., being
the only answer to a direct question. In such cases, we adhere to these
spellings:
- Affirmative: uh-huh
/ mm-hmm

/ nuh-uh / mm-mm
Note in this example how filler words are excluded unless they
are the only answer to a question.
