Actually, I have an ex-girlfriend to thank for improving my speech, albeit indirectly. She was very smart, and very manipulative. I had to think about exactly what I wanted to say or I was in for an hour argument. It taught me to reflect for a minute and choose my words carefully. That in itself cut down on tics.
Ha! Women are so much better at this kind of thing than men. I remember my high school GF to college GF when we were close to breaking up actually wrote a list of things she thought I had done that annoyed her, and then made a straw man list of her own to show me how almost all of the problems were mostly my fault. Yes, dealing with manipulative people that have brains like recorders will make you choose the exact words you want to say with care.
