No problem. Can i ask what kind of stutter do you have? silent blocks or normal stuttering?...

Interesting, maybe the deciding factor here is if person has stutter or stammer. Which category are you in? I'm more a stammerer and when I get a block the other side tends to get quite confused why t...
