My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had worked so hard for so long that I developed a speech impediment. It happens when I get tired.
I discovered the wife's got asthma. Thank God - I thought she was hissing at me.
I'm often accused of saying some pretty rotten things about my mother-in-law. But quite honestly, she's only got one major fault - it's called breathing.
I talk fast because I'm asthmatic, and I'm desperately hoping the words get out before my breath fails.
The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.
Our breath gets shallow and ineffective when we are in a stressed state. I advocate stopping whatever you're doing for a couple of minutes five times a day, closing your eyes and taking deep breaths.
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
I am a sentimental guy, and occasionally, that lump in my throat when I speak has stopped my tongue from working.
Breathing is fundamental to speech. A stammer is caused by erratic airflow, so if you have a smooth airflow, you have smooth speech.
Mama had her little cough. Once or twice, some quiet sobbing, out of sight... Or the slamming of kitchen cupboard doors. That was her language.
