This is a very good question, recently I've noticed sometimes when writing I skip a letter and then quickly correct it, I also suspect it might have something to do with stuttering, I'm in my late 20'...

Yeah, I used to write letters in the Navy when I was deployed and my mom and grandmother would call each other laughing because of the jumbled mess I wrote. I always thought it was just me. I’m glad...

I do this ALL THE TIME, when I’m texting my fiance I’ll leave out an important word that takes away all context and she’ll be so confused fused and then I read my text and I’m “ah shit, it happened ag...

Off the top of my head here are some things that help me: - read out loud. I read to my kids every night and find that when I don’t read for several days my speech is noticeable worse. - try not to t...

I got speech therapy as a child from 3yo to 10yo. If i do stutter today i simply stop what im trying to say and restart slower or apply tricks i was taught in therapy. Works for me....

I usually use a synonym when I know I have a block coming. When I'm in a presentation? I talk a bit slower, but if i get to a block, I take a second and breathe. There are plenty of methods to distrac...

Worse is when. Someone says their name. And you like A- then they like. What was that? And you Aq- Repeat until you like. Nah sorry I have stutter. Just call me sir...
