Speech impairment in celebrities

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

 Rhotacism  (I had to Google!)  seems to occur in a number of posh-voiced Brits I hear on TV.  Supernanny Jo Frost is one.  :chin:

*Shannon Sharpe, NFL color commentator and ex-pro football player; lisp, stutter & drawl              Since when is a drawl a speech impediment?

As far as rhotacism, I have never read so many dirty words in one explanation in all my born days.  I shall have to write to the editors of Wikipedia to express my displeasure.

It's nice to see others do well despite any problems they had.  Must have been really bad for the actors.

I stutter when nervous not that bad but noticeable anyone else?

 I very occasionally stutter a tiny bit.  More annoying is my inability to express my anger directly to the people I'm angry at.
 
*cough* BOSS *cough*   :bangbang:

 It isn't technically a speech impediment, but my vocabulary fails me when I need it most, and I can't even raise my voice convincingly.

Yes, pragmatic speech ability can be an impairment.

 OK, I Googled it, I think my problem is just years of programming.  I was raised to be meek and to take a lot of shit.
 It's just hard to learn to open my mouth under pressure when keeping it SHUT has served me pretty well in many ways.   :dunno:

cbc my vocabulary fails me when I need it most as well

Speaking out loud to someone outside of my immediate family is really difficult for me. I think years of social anxiety have contributed to it a lot though. but it is also something much more than that, and I'm not sure exactly what. I wish there was a name for whatever it was that was wrong with my speaking, so I could find out how best to try and overcome it, but I don't think it's an actual disorder I have - more that I just find it very difficult talking out loud to people. So much running through my head, it's really difficult getting it out in words and in the right order isn;t it?

Especially if you're having a conversation with someone, coz then you've gotta worry about all the stuff that aspies usually have difficult with as well - like what it is the other person is saying, what you're SUPPOSED to say back, when you're meant to respond, if you're meant to laugh etc

so confusing lol

I actually wish I had a speech impairment sometimes, as it would give me an excuse
