WHO THOUGHT OF THE WORD STUTTER Has anyone thought about how stupid the word stutter is. I don’t know about anyone else but, when I need to tell people that I have a stutter, I can NEVER pronounce it. It might just be me but the S and T combination is hard to get out. It’s like who made the word tried to make it hard for people who have to pronounce it. Let me know what you guys think, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and I’m pretty interested in it.
