Yep, it now appears that at least some forms of stuttering are genetically determined.

How about that.

Damn it! Scooped again.

My own studies were just about to reveal that at least some forms of slurring are gin&tonically determined.

This is not surprising. And, yes, "In terms of m-m-m-mythbusters, this is r-r-r-really an important s-s-s-step f-f-forward," said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation.

My girlfriend has a slight stutter, and so do others in her family. It's definitely genetic. I dislike others that think people who have a stutter have a mental problem or they're stupid in some way. They're not, in fact many famous people with famous voices have stutters. James Earl Jones for one.

I don't think it's called stuttering anymore.

I think it's called dirty-heads syndrome now. I think sometimes they make a clunking sound too.....
