huh! as an SLP in training who stutters, I love this. reading your passage, i kinda do something similar: i sorta have this southern california accent, so my stutter is less noticeable (e.g., "kinda" and "sorta"; "cuz" and "dude" sounds like "kizz" and "did"). as long as you're being understood, that's all that counts. we really don't pronounce every sound in every word, that'd be exhausting. as long as it works and it doesn't cause you stress!
