They also only ever just show people stuttering, not trying to deal with it. For example, there's no stuttering on the word "chair" for a second, and then changing to the word "seat". Which is a trick I use all the time, and it confuses people who don't know I have a stutter yet. I swear whenever I see someone stutter in media they just stutter a couple of times, and then say the word. Sometimes that word just ain't coming out.
