Speech Impediments?

[modocsot]

The missus and I got into a debate about speech impediments. I believe that an adult that is fully capable of hearing and has no physical problems with their mouth should be able to overcome a speech impediment. Take those European actors that speak a role in an american accent, or american actors that speak a role in foreign accents.... it's done on purpose, right?

Assuming the adult has no physical impairments, I don't think that a speech impediment should be that hard to overcome. I think it's a choice.

FTR, I'm talking about those that say, "dowwa bill", "mawaige", or slurs, or has those annoying "sssss" when they say words with and "s" in it, or talks like Daffy Duck or Elmer Fudd.

Am I the only one that thinks this?

I do not think it means what you think it means.

We just hired a new attorney who has this issue occasionally. I hope that his first trial doesn't go like this:

Drink enough and you slur,
smoke enough and you'll giggle.

Other than that the rest is curable

I didn't think a lipse was a speech impediment? I thought stuttering was. Maybe I'm wrong. I would think it would be easier to get over a lipse than stuttering, because stuttering is more of a psychological thing rather than a physical thing such as a lipse.
