At 42, I don't think it ever will. I've just accepted it. I hate that I have it, but until there's brain surgery made available to fix it, it's here to stay. I guess people don't tend to notice it in me as much as people used to. I live in Japan now, so when speaking Japanese, people just assume I don't know the word I want to say. I'm not sure which I'd prefer, my pride hurt because of a stutter or people thinking I'm not as proficient as I am in the language, but what can I do?
