Answer 2

Stammer Vs Stutter

Answer 3

Actually in my view stuttering is the remedy of stammering and stammering is the remedy of stuttering
Stuttering occurs when we can make an appropriate sound or voice for the word but cannot say the word and struck with the sound of the word
Stammering is quite opposite to what stuttering is.In stammering one knows what he want to say and his brain is fully in commant to the word but the voice box is not creating enough sound to deliver the word...Simply both are like curses and should be cured by creating word in brain and delivering it by using sound with air..and always through the air outside your lips to cure stammer

Answer 6

Speaking of 'stutter', here' (I think), is an example. I had a wonderful 8th grade grammar teacher, Mrs. Banks, who did a stutter one day which I still remember. She was reading from a book in front of the whole class when she said, "Two children were ripping a phart some boxes........", realizing she had spoken incorrectly, she quickly walked over to the window and stared out for a moment, then turned around and said to all of us, "Go ahead, you may laugh now," which we did.
