Do you get offended when you hear people say "What, did I stutter?" Hey, I've never been in this subreddit before so I'm SURE this question has been asked. It's something I've seen a few people talk about but I've never seen a consistent consensus for it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bothered when I hear people say this (I am a stutterer btw, not just a curious passerby) but It's not something that offends me, nor do I try and correct people when I hear it. Although, I do use it to joke with my friends by me saying it to them XD Do you think it's something people should be more mindful about, or is it an insecurity that people who stutter need to work through?
