Are there really many types of stutter? I just watched Biden speaking and I noticed some 'stuttering' and I can't say I'm happy for him because I don't even think stuttering is something you should feel sorry for. I've stuttered since a kid with a recently diagnosed brain tumor, that, according to neurosurgeons might have been there all my life. They couldn't give me a clear answer if the stutter could be caused by the tumor. My stutter is somewhat different from Biden's or the collegues I've seen stuttering. I just can't help but think ''they can exactly say that word but their brain is bugging'' yet I'm like, ''no matter what, I cannot say this word without an ummmm...'' And by this, I mean their stutter is different. When they do stutter, the speech is so smooth and it's just repeating random words whereas I cannot say a word without sounding like someone who hasn't got a breath for 3 minutes...
