- How Talk picked them
- We drafted 32 phrases for disagreeing politely (showing you listened, saying no softly, weighing it up and finding a middle), plus the other ways people say them (contractions, British and American forms). We counted how many of Talk's spoken videos say each one. We kept those heard in at least three lines across two or more videos, with at least one clear moment.
