TIL that a military general who stuttered took a bullet in jaw in WWI and never stuttered again wiki: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry\_de\_la\_Mesa\_Allen\_Sr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_de_la_Mesa_Allen_Sr). It's astonishing to know that sometimes the stutter can be linked to the formation of our mouth and may not be related to brain. Sometimes I feel the same too, my lower jaw is not well aligned and is behind upper jaw. what about you?
