- How Talk picked them
- We drafted 35 phrases for explaining an idea (setting it up, making it clear, giving an example and summing up), 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.
