One of the first things my speech therapists would say is "you know, everybody stutters at some point!" as if it was supposed to make me feel better. But I know the condition that causes my stuttering is NOT the same as someone having a brief moment of tripping over their words for whatever reason. To me, it's the same as telling someone with a leg injury "don't worry, we all stumble sometimes!"
