The case for saying stuttering, not stammering, in this article
[edit]When I noticed the use of both stuttering pride and stammering pride in the article but with no explanation as to whether they were the same or different, I was quite confused and concerned that other readers would be, too. I did some online searching to look into this, and what I found was that:
1- Yes, they are the same — there is no difference in the behavior being referred to.
2- But as far as linguistic usage, the behavior is referred to as stuttering in the US and as stammering in the UK and other countries using British format.
Since US formatting is used in this article, stuttering pride should be used rather than stammering. That is what I did in an earlier edit after the two discoveries above; but to my dismay, my edit was reverted. Now the article is back to its confusing use of both stuttering and stammering. I bequeath this issue to other editors to decide.Augnablik (talk) 07:56, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
