As the other poster said, it does not sound like stuttering. I'm not a professional but the way you describe it, I'm guessing it's more towards Apraxia of Speech. You can always get evaluated if you...
No worries, Yes, I tend to know which words I will get stuck on ahead of time. Yes the “difficult” sounds have changed over time. I used to hate “s” words, the word “seven” would literally throw me i...
