Do you all stutter on words starting with vowels mostly? I've realized that the majority of words I tend to stutter on or anticipate stuttering on, often begin with a vowel sound. For example: Electricity America Elastic Sometimes, it's not the first syllable, but a later syllable that starts with a vowel sound where I get stuck. Examples include: PhilAdelphia reElection reAffirm I'm wondering do other people who stutter experience this same pattern?
