During my senior year, my government teacher called people out for saying like every 5 words. For the entire year. He used to be a former lawyer.

This has got me into the habit of always listening as I speak and it has been extremely worthwhile.

"He used to be a former lawyer."

This sounds like the start of a Mitch Hedberg joke.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to describe but -- are you referring to the socratic method?

Called people out for saying the word "like" every 5th word

Oh, that makes way more sense!
