Mark a word as unnecessary

[Nan Bernstein Ratner]

I agree with Brian's suggestions. The only other thing I would add is where
these extraneous words arise from - are they reformulations? Who are these
speakers? In this case, you might want to use revision markers. Or, if
circumlocutions, the disfluency prefix that Brian just supplied.
