I can tell you my life changed once I stopped letting my speech control what I do. Be honest with people and show them your speech doesn't bug you, and it won't bug them-- if you want to, give them a ...

I’ve had exactly the same experience. I also use the phone at work often and I no longer freak out if I need to call the bank on a complex issue. My point though is that the phone is a piece of tech...
