stuttering

[mijas bound]

was having a really weird thought earlier,

i can't remember the last time i heard anyone stuttering

i meet a lot of people in my work and can't remember the last time

have they cured it?? maybe i missed it on the news

a further point, do Spanish people stutter(or did they before the cure)
what do they sound like?? is it really obvious?

sorry in advance for any offence, it will probably transpire that 90% of posters on here stutter and there hasn't been a cure at all!!

I´ve seen some strange posts on the andalucia forum, but I think this one gets the prize !!!

You must be pretty bored.
I am sorry to report stuttering is alive and well and living with at least me.
I must have missed out on the wonder drug
Keep taking the tablets
Just for the record when I attempt to speak spanish I still stutter

A friend of mine stutters hoorendously (my word) so much so that on occasion he falls over to the ground (honestly)
When he sings or speaks like a dalek he doesn't stutter at all.
He says that if there was a cure for stuttering he would not take it as stuttering is a part of him he would not like to lose as i would not like to lose a leg!!!

Dear God - i do apologise for the spelling of the word ---horrendously-- i only come online late at night when the light and the wine are low.

tartamudeara is Spanish for stuttering and one who stutters is a tartamudo...tartamudos want to talk but are afraid to do so....maybe thats why you dont hear them talk.

do Spanish people stutter
what do they sound like?? is it really obvious?

yes..the same..yes

A lot of stuttering is caused by nerves and only comes on when talking to people outside the family group. The two people I know who stutter can sing word perfect but go to bits in a conversation or one to one with someone they don't know or opposite sex.

Did anyone see a recent tv programme on Gareth Gates? There was hardly any sign of his stutter after having special breathing lessons and now he's helping train others that have the same problem. He's now trying to make a comeback after gaining more confidence. Good luck to him, he's tried hard and it's working.

Good luck to him, he's tried hard and it's working.

I agree, anyone brave enough to tackle Jordan and her silicone deserves to do well.

That's probably what really cured him - altering his breathing technique whilst being suffocated!

It didn't stop The Who from making money did it

What a coincidence.
My physio has just left after telling me I have a stutter in my left leg, when I challenged him on this he explained by saying. this is how you walk. Right foot D, left foot DD, Right Foot D etc and at the moment I can only do about 10 steps.
Is he for real, is this possible ?.

Thanks for clearing up the cure/no cure issue, i am an avid news watcher so didn't really think i could have missed such an important medical breakthrough.

however, just another thought, whats the difference between stuutering and stammering????

Guy walks into a bar with his friend, says to the barman, " a pint of guiness please" he then turns to his colleague and says "what about you donkey" the barman says " why does he call you donkey" man replies, "I don't know, heehaw, heehaw, healways calls me that"

Stammering is spelt correctly

[mijas bound]

i obviously did that on purpose, thats why i haven't edited it
(b***** bum balls)

Stammering and Stuttering is the same thing.

ah, i see they made it so that one was easy to spell and one was more difficult, so you can tell the difference between educated and un-educated people (like me)
