Interesting list.
I commented

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?
-
The PR stammers, sometimes worse than others.

When I saw Emperor Claudius there I thought of the Bigus Dickus scene from The Life Of Brian. :lol:

Have been told to have a sibilant s, though not aware of anything 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.

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:

I wish I had this problem. :hahaha:

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

Yeah, I talk up a storm most of the time, but when I'm angry I just can't get myself organized to fight back. :-\
-
I don't really talk much at all, so that is probably part of my problem. I'm just not used to it
-
I also have problems with finding words, I know what I want to say, but it gets lost somewhere between my brain and my mouth and I'll pronounce words wrong or say the wrong word totally. Annoying as hell.
Now when someone really pisses me off past the point of no return it's a different story, I'm very proficient with sentence enhancers. :laugh:

"Sentence enhancers," would those by any chance be swear words? :zoinks:

Wow, there's a blast from the past! But I've come a long way since then. :thumbup:

Yes, pragmatic speech ability can be an impairment.
From the Wikipedia entry on pragmatic language impairment: :orly:
"The current view, therefore, is that the disorder has more to do with communication and
information processing than language. For example, children with semantic pragmatic disorder
will often fail to grasp the central meaning or saliency of events. This then leads to an
excessive preference for routine and "sameness" (seen in autism and Asperger's syndrome)
as PLI children struggle to generalize and grasp the meaning of situations that are new;
it also means that more difficulties occur in a stimulating environment than in a one-to-one setting."
BOOM. I've realized for years that I have trouble at times generalizing, applying what I've learned
from one situation to a similar new one. I've recognized for years that I have (or used to have) trouble
seeing the 'big picture" in the routine at work, so it took me a long time to learn the job. The ADD
meds have definitely made it easier for me, but still I find changes in routine unsettling. :orly:
