Your post title is literally “how can you say stuttering is incurable” but now you’re saying it’s not curable? Normal fluent people don’t involuntarily repeat words. It just struck me as a bit offen...

One helps most people the other doesn't. They don't cure because there is no cure. Also it's not a disease to be cured. There's nothing wrong with stuttering aside from the social stigma placed on it....
