Grammar
The car is a good one in every aspect.
Hi
Could you please help me with the queries below? Thank you.
Q1:
Are both of the following sentences natural?
1: The car is a good one in every sense.
2: The car is a good one in every aspect.
Q2:
I have seen that many people use certain words very often - particularly when they are in process of figuring out what to say next or just to take a pause between their speech. For example, I have come some persons who quite often say 'you know' almost every couple of seconds. Likewise, some persons might use 'basically' and so on.
Yesterday, I was having a discussion about this with a friend. It is my personal understanding that such expressions which really aren't required in conversation to convey the meaning are just space-fillers. Should I really call them 'space-fillers'? Could you please suggest any other term for such 'space-filler' expressions? Thanks.

It's a "filler" (in general) or filler word (specific.)

2. is fine as is.
