I have had people telling me they stutter too, when it's obviously they don't. Having problems pronouncing a word every now and then is not the same. I do that too sometimes (like everyone else) and...

I stutter, I don't consider myself disabled but it is certainly detrimental, and if I could get money from it I would do so shamelessly. Having people do that is a nice gesture in theory, I'd apprec...
