Is this habit bad? Sometimes when asking questions with a ‘W’ sound in the front I’ll skip the first syllable, so instead of: ‘what are you saying’ (for example) I’ll say ‘ahht are you saying almost slurring the sentence and mashing it together. also things like putting the word last, so instead of saying (for example): ‘What are you trying to do’i say ‘You’re trying to do what?’ And I realise now it’s just natural to me, but I don’t know if it’s a bad habit or not.
