>Nobody speaks totally fluently, even non-stutterers. That's just semantics. You definitely know what they mean by "fluent". They mean "speech without no stuttering disorder". Now there's regular stuttering as well, which non-PWS people occasionally do, but that's different. >It's a medically accepted fact that there is no cure for stuttering. To say that you've cured yours without providing evidence to support the treatment methods you used is against the rules It's medically accepted at the moment, because there's not much research being done about stuttering in general. I have heard about multiple people who overcame stuttering somehow in their 20s & 30s. Obviously, it's an extremely small minority (probably not even 0.1%?), but it does implies that it can be atleast improved to a certain level that it improves the person's life by tenfold.
