Well eee let's keep working. = Well [use F8 key to register the filler eee] let's keep working.

Never register two identical sounds without at least one intermediate word, no matter, for example: That the speaker is laughing for several minutes or that there is music playing for several minutes only
What a good joke hahaha You made me laugh. = What a good joke. [use F8 key to register laughins] You made me laugh.
