Stutter/Stammer

[Maha]

What is the difference?

IE: Matt McCarton goes....''to to to to to to to to be honest'' (using the whole word)
IE: Arkwright goes ''per per per per peeeeer perfect'' (using part of a word)
IE: Then theres the whole... draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn out thing. (trouble with gettin one word out)
Which McCarton has a bit of trouble with also.

Im no expert at quirky little human speach things but, maybe those that have trouble getting the words out first up are thinking to far ahead of what they have to say?

It's all very well for you wankers to make fun of people who stutter/stammer, but I can tell you it's no laughing matter for those of us who suffer from this affliction. It's frustrating, not to mention embarrassing, because there's always some tit who thinks it's the most hilarious thing they've ever heard.

Us stammerers are all incoherent, ignornant, gibbering idiots who deserve to be humiliated and ridiculed. Yeah, right.

Equal opportunity employers have a shed load to be ashamed of.

Many years ago I was an importer/exporter. For this story I am an exporter in the process of becoming an importer. I needed a casper number. Yes, I had one for exporting, but, did I need a different one to import? A simple question you would agree. Well...

The Internal Affairs Department eventually agreed it was a simple question with a very easy one word answer. Getting that answer though cost heaps of money in toll calls, a huge amount of frustration for me, and I hate to think of how much stress and embarassement they put their receptionist under :pinch:

He answered the phone in person after I listenend to an announcement spelling out how Internal Affairs were an equal opportunity employer, and offering me the opportunity to apply for a job no matter what my affliction. His stutter was beyond something that anyone answering a busy phone should attempt to control, and certainly far and away what any customer should have to listen to while they pay for the call. This man simply could not answer the phone. His attempts to reply degenerated into a complete stuttering apology " I, I, I, I, I...Im S S S S S S Sorry, I I I I I I " etc. His stutter prevented him from even apologising. As I really needed the information I had to ring this poor bastard many times over a week, eventually he never answered the phone. While it may have been funny from a distance it was actually incredibly frustrating as a client and I can not begin to imagine how upsetting for the man concerned.

Equal opportunity employing is one thing, employing someone that is only going to be more humiliated due to something he cant control is cruel.

true but.
say,mellowwwwwwwwww.
we all have our cross

[Clockwork]

FWIW I believe a stutter is where a sound is repeated several times whereas a stammer is when the speaker actually struggles to even begin the word.

If it's any consolation, Hitcher. It may help to regard the problem in the same way as Billy Connelly says of his outrageous clothing...

"It serves as a good Dickhead detector"

Bit like the mere mortals who have not had the benefit of a decent education eh?
Imagine that...not being able to spell with perfect accuracy...to fail with one's grammar?

Oh chortle! The higher one gets the mightier it feels! :doobey:

The "NZ TV interviewer stutter" Campbell learnt it from Holmes -it allows them to read the Teleprompt (slowly) while not allowing the interviewee to get a word in.

As a stutterer/stammerer myself, that's the theory I was given as a kid by the 'specialist'.
Given that this was back in the good old days (TM) the amount of credence I give it though is questionable since I was probably also moments away from Electric Shock Treatment or even quite possibly a course of leeches.

"S"'s are my cross to bear, and "fuckit" fast became the best tool in the box.

I had the same trouble as a kid. I used to speak way to fast. Was never at the chronic stage (if there is such a term) but grew out of it I guess? I didn't have treatment or speech therapy of any sort, just seemed to eventually manage what came out of my mouth?

[Motu]

Stuttering used to be blamed on lefties being forced to be right handers,and there was enough evidence to claim that....but it didn't stop stuttering world wide.I just missed out on being ''corrected'' in my handedness - my primary school headmaster had been a forced right hander,and would have none of it in his school.I still ended up with a bit of a stutter.

I always thought my bad handwriting was because I was lefthanded (and we had to use fountain pens!),although later I found many lefthanders who had beautiful handwriting.I have since found bad handwriting is a common symptom of dyslexia.Another thing I found out about dyslexics is that they think in pictures (3D),and that it is a very fast way to think.The mental pictures running away faster than the mouth can keep up? How many stutterer's are dyslexic?
