In all seriousness this phrase, as it relates to the majority of the fluent population, makes sense. You say that it is used in a way that implies disfluency = unintelligent, but I think it has more ...

Just because you haven't seen the phrase used in its intended use or that it doesn't bother you, doesn't mean it doesn't happen to others or doesn't bother anyone else. Even if it's not massively so, ...

Amen! Especially because on another note, stuttering doesn’t even make somebody less audible. If anything it increases the ease of understanding in the listener because the word is slowed down....

I've never seen anyone use "did I stutter" to mean "what I just said was good", to the point where I believe you've just misunderstood what was ultimately meant by the phrase. Although I agree it's u...

It's so casually used that I don't think people are seeing how it normalises judgement against people with disfluency. People with fluency can say anything yet they choose to say this phrase 🙄...

Then just say "did you not understand me". For me it's that the phrase isn't used in that sense, it's used when a statement is made and "did they stutter?" is used to emphasise that what was said wa...

"Did I stutter" is meant to mean "did you not understand me". I don't find it necessarily offensive, as I know that people often do simply not understand what I said as a result of the heavy stutter...

I don't stutter, but I have cluttering, which can sound like stuttering to those who don't know much about speech. I interviewed a guy who stutters and who is a speech language pathologist, Evan Sher...
