No, I think before I speak and say what I planned to say. What do you do, sir?

Cute snark but no you don't, nor does anyone else who speaks to you. People self-repair their speech in 10% to nearly 40% of speech turns. The upper end is for cognitively demanding communication but the lower bound is very normal.
Good evidence of my point though on how natural this is. People literally don't even notice it as either the listener or the speaker.
Even when a listener is told specifically to listen for and detect errors or self-repairs in speech, listeners will not even detect 50% to 80% of minor repairs. Your brain literally doesn't even perceive them.
