I never said stuttering is only a repetition of sound. It can be repetition, pauses, blocks, tongue locks, chattering... I'm just saying large blocks are the worst case and can be minimized by being c...

Blocks are one of the 3 primary types of stuttering, after repetition and prolongation. It's involuntary, so it doesn't hide anything - it IS the stutter. Stuttering is defined by an involuntary disru...

Don't know why others are negative about your point, I think it's very reasonable and true. By 'Stuttering' I think you meant specifically the stammer part. I haven't tried just letting the repetitio...
