Sometimes I tell people that I have a stutter too but sometimes its just too embarrassing and/or I end up stuttering on that too; but, thankfully, not as often! I often will change certain words as w...

I also have problems with hello, and h in general. I often use brief variations of words to help me pronounce it fast. One example of a hard word is as you said, "hello". Although I often get a block ...

Hmm. Hello is easy for me, but saying the whole bit on the phone is quite a challenge (working in food service and answering the phone is the hardest part). I usually just say 'hello' pause 'this is S...

I do this quite often (only around people I'm not so comfortable with) and I absolutely hate it. I'm sure people just assume I'm a twit. I struggled for a long while to say the word dishwasher durin...

:( been there... And most of the time this happens if I'm not even nervous about speaking to the other person, sometimes this happens even if I'm happy/excited to talk to them. It's the pits when it h...

I think I might email the interviewer today about the stutter, but I feel that would be awkward. Did you just say you had a stutter beforehand on the phone?...

I'm gonna try this. Nothing else has worked. Been living with a stutter my whole life...

I stutter and I was a ski instructor this past winter, if that counts. To be honest, it did give me some problems, but I loved what I was doing more than I hated stuttering, so it was a good trade of...

I'm a public high school teacher with 15ish years experience. Every year, the first two things out of my mouth are my name and the fact that I stutter. I then spend about 10 minutes talking about it, ...

My mother tongue is Hindi. I am from India so I guess my english is not that bad :) And I feel I should apologize for generalizing things a bit in my earlier comment. The most enigmatic thing about s...
