I've got one. I've got a bit of a wossy. It is slight so the likes of sexy saxondale may not have noticed it when he met me in person

It's never been a problem for me really asides from a little banter but it's become clear lately that Kaitlin (my daughter) may also have a bit of a wossy. It's a tad difficult to teach when I say: "It's not woadway, it's woadway". Squiwwels are also confusing cwitters.

Do you have speech impediments or know others that do?

I swear. A lot. It doesn't tend to go down very well in my office.

Ditto!

My cousin used to have a stutter but i think he's grown out of it now. Hard to tell because he's not very talkative.

I consider profanity more of a speech enhancement that a speech impediment.

I sometimes stutter slightly when i'm nervous.
Most notably during my wedding speech, that was fun.

When I was a kid I had weird thing where I would say something then repeat it again in mime.
I never even knew I did it until a mate pointed it out to me and then I was very aware that I was doing it. Strange.

Perhaps he's just mid-stutter.

Probably! We've grown up together, the same age and i see him on a regular basis but it's so hard to talk to him. Example -

Me - "alright mate, how you doing?"

Cousin - "ok thanks"

Then there is silence..... Doesn't even ask how i am. Get him drunk though and you can't shut the fucker up!!!

How's he's managed to keep his girlfriend for 5 years, i don't know.

Same here - was really bad as kid and got really bullied. Did something about it and it only becomes noticeable when stresed or nervous.

Having a stutter is nothing to be ashamed about. Even a movie star such as Will Smith can get n-n-n-nervous and start to stutter and f-f-f-fumble every w-w-w-word he utters.

Are you sure it didn't happen after you tried to change a lightbulb?

I had a tutor at school who either had a weird accent or a speech problem, he would say something like 'ok peepoo bags off the tayboo' he wasn't from the far east either, and he had a weird name.

Haha.

TBF, I'd class the wiltshire/swindon accent as a speech impediment. It's hideous.

It's not an impediment but I slightly accentuate my pronunciation depending on where I go. I don't really have an accent so it feels ok to do it.
