Episode 5: Why “Did I Stutter?” Isn’t Just a Phrase
Why do people say “Did I stutter?” when they’re trying to prove a point? In this episode, I’m talking about where the phrase came from, how it became so popular, and why it can be hurtful to people who stutter. I’ll also share a personal experience of hearing the phrase used right in front of me and why I think it’s important to think about the messages behind the words we use.
