DAE's stutter change depending on the language and accent? I spend most of my time talking in a bit of a forced accent (bland West Coast). It's not completely unnatural for me to do, but it's definitely more exaggerated than my actual accent. When I relax my voice and slip into my normal accent, I stutter much less, although my words can get more slurred. In English, I also stutter way more than in French. I think part of it is that I'm often talking faster and without thinking as much, thinking more carefully about what to say in French. DAE experience this as well?
