But they still say that speaking is hard work.

Doesn't make any sense? Hm, ok I think I won't suggest any more of such exercises... ;-))<BR/>But seriously now, back to your initial question. What bothers me is the comparison between stutterers, recovered stutterers and "normal" people. I mean how do you define each "category". Where does stuttering start? I've seen people talk, some "normal" people who speak with such a disfluency that I would actually want to call them stutterers, but probably they're not stutterers. When can you define someone as recovered? Is that recovery permanent? How much disfluency must your speech include to qualify as stuttering?<BR/>Really enjoying those mental exercises, even if I'm probably not a big help in resolving them, lol... Please bring on some more :-)Einarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170798309540074456noreply@blogger.com
