Covert Stutters, do you guys speak with more words than necessary? Let’s say someone asked you, “What show how are you watching right now?” You could say, “Adventure Time”. But you know you’ll stutter with that beginning vowel. Instead, you’ll say, “I’ve been watching Adventure Time” since you can say “I’ve been” fluently most of the time. Well, that’s my experience. How about yall?
