I would agree with that; for instance, there is the "you know" disease - where a person uses "you know" constantly to emphasize a point or to fill in a blank space. Or "actually" or "literally" - the 2 most redundant and overused words in the English language.

Apart from, of course, elephant and sunshine. Smile | :)
