OP’s first line was “I have a very *strange* stutter”. “Basic” was directly acknowledging that their stutter is very common, standard or basic. After reading dozens of comments/posts and learning about dysfluency from experts in the field, I d learned that many people have hauntingly similar experiences. Why is it dismissive to acknowledge the truth, especially when it can lead yo significant improvement for many?
