someone in a fanfic: s-stutters in embarrassment

me, closing the tab: sorry I must go

Unrealistic Stuttering: “S-sorry I-I d-d-didn’t m-mean t-to…”

Realistic Stuttering: “Sorry, I uh… I didn’t mean- I didn’t mean to do that…”

When people stutter, they usually reword what they’re saying as they speak, and subconsciously insert “filler words” such as “uh, like, you know,” and etc.

*puts on speech therapist hat*

ACTUALLY! It depends on why they are stuttering. 

A Nervous Stutter results in what is called Mazing, or rewording the sentence. That is the classic “I, um… well I… look it’s just that… so we…” that @hellishhues is talking about. When someone is mazing their words you’re seeing a form of Speech Apraxia where the brain is having trouble forming verbal speech. This can be brought on by brain damage, memory loss, anxiety, nerves, and several other things. 

The root cause of a nervous stutter is a disconnect between the mouth and the brain. 

With this you will also sometimes see the classic “S-s-s-sorry…” especially if the person has been training to speak clearly and is now at a point of fatigue or stress where they are not mentally capable of forming the words.

The other kind of stutter is a Physical Stutter, sometimes referred to as slurring, and another facet of Speech Apraxia. This stutter is caused when the muscles of the mouth, tongue, and throat are physically unable to form certain sounds. This is most often seen in the very young and victims of brain trauma. 

Sounds are acquired at different ages, so a 2-year-old will probably not be able to clearly pronounce certain words (which is why toddler sound so off when they’re written with developed dialogue). These mis-pronunciations are sometimes referred to as lisping, but only if the sounds are run together. If the person starts and restarts the sound because they got it wrong, it can also sound like the classic sound stutter. 

But it all depends on why the character is stuttering!

Do they have Speech Apraxia, Audio Processing Disorder, muscle dysfunction, or another medical reason to stutter? (1)

Are they stuttering because of anxiety, stress, or fatigue? (2)

Does the stutter stem from intoxication or blood loss? (3)

All of those will sound different! 

1 – Will have mazing, repeated sound stutters, and be the classic stutter that annoys OP.

2 – This is where you’ll see the repetition stutter, mazing, rephrasing, and filler words.

3 – This is where you are more likely to see starts and stops and slurring of words. 

My mum has apraxia and I just wanted to say that’s one of the most concise and clear ways I’ve seen it explained, thank you!

So… correct me if I’m wrong, but Peter Grant would beat Iron Man in battle by accident. (It’s the only thing I thought about while watching Infinity War)

I haven’t seen Infinity War and I don’t know much Iron Man except that he’s some rich white genius type dude.

But Peter’s clever, innovative and resourceful, good at thinking on his feet, and using magic in new and creative ways. I don’t understand why they would be fighting, but if it came down it? Personally, I don’t think Peter would win by accident. (Maybe he’d need a little luck on his side, but I think it’s his skills and quick thinking that would get the job done).

Actually, the Iron Man suit is high tech, right? Peter could probably just take the suit out of play with a werelight. He could probably calculate the power and proximity necessary to take out the suit from a distance without hurting anyone (i.e. we want it to stop working, not explode) and without being detected. He could win this battle before it’s even started, and without any civilians being injured in the process. 

(The real miracle is that there’s no significant property damage. Ok, yes, there was a little fire–but in the grand scheme of things…)

I like to think Peter wouldn’t actually have to get to the point of taking out the suit entirely (though he could and would do it if he had to) – he’d just treat it as a mundane disturbance-of-the-peace issue, cite the relevant acts, and eventually Tony would be so confused he’d agree to stop and talk because there’s a policeman who just thinks he’s going to arrest him and is weirdly confident about his ability to do so and what is going on????

(The scenario where I find it plausible that Peter fries the suit by accident is when he goes in to arrest someone without knowing Iron Man is already there, at which point he’s mildly apologetic but also quite firm about the fact that this is his city and has Iron Man heard of extradition)

#lbr for a second: Peter DEEPLY disapproves of superheroes as a real-world concept  #he is not impressed by the arguments of ANYBODY on either side of Civil War (via @sixth-light)

Also imagine that in the background Nightingale is catching up with Steve and Bucky, who are asking a lot of questions like “but are you sure you weren’t frozen at any point?” and Beverley is talking deity shop with Thor and Valkyrie. Abigail also wants to talk to Thor…to see if he has Jane’s contact details because she has some questions about the intersection of physics and magic.
