When I stutter on a letter like "p", the repetition starts on the "p" so I say "p p p p ....". This is annoying but at least people understand I mean "p".
But for "t"s (and to a lesser extent "d"s) it is worse because when my stutter on them sounds like "shshshshsh", and in the end the "t" sound is very wet, like "shshshshshshtshshstshable" for "table".
As a matter of fact, it feels like the repetition kicks in even before I have the time to complete any of the "t" sounds.
As a result, these words are difficult to understand because people think I am saying "ch" rather than "t" or "d".
Does anyone else have these problems on these letters? Or other sounds that sound differently when they stutter?
