I'm glad you're going to work on it. My suggestion is work on it only a couple times per day. You're can't stop it cold turkey and trying to do so is usually a recipe for failure. Work on it a few tim...

I'm somewhat surprised it didn't come up in the interview. I don't think you should tell them in your thank you note. Do you think your stutter isn't noticeable? Why do you think you should tell them?...
