Silence is your true friend, it will never betray you, especially in a deposition.

You will be deposed. Whether you are plaintiff, defendant, or witness, another participant in the lawsuit will demand that you be questioned, under oath, before a court reporter. Your answers will be typed and presented as a transcript.

A transcript presents as a bound volume of pages, each consisting of 21 double-spaced lines of text. And here is the most important thing-- the spaces between lines of text are uniform. More specifically, the spaces between each line of text do not expand or contract depending on how quickly the deponent responds, or how long the deponent pauses to consider a response.
