      Everyone’s making jokes but if you’re serious they meant “stuttering”.

      Edit: per vocabulary.com

      If you’ve ever heard a young child stammer and trip over his words, you know what it means to stutter.

      Use the verb stutter when someone gets stuck on certain word sounds, either because she’s speaking too quickly or eagerly, or because she has an actual speech disorder, also called a stutter. The word itself is somewhat onomatopoeic — a word that sounds like what it means — with its repeated t sounds. Stutter is thought to be related to the Middle Low German word stoten, “to knock or strike against,” which is the way a stutterer’s words sometimes sound.

      It’s when a person can’t spelt very good.

      Now I don’t want to fix the title.

        Good on you for leaving it. Boosts engagement and eff em anyways.

        Also, I didn’t know titles could be edited. Is it not like Reddit in that way?

          “engagement” only impacts a a couple of the sorting algorithms (active, and??) available here.

          Every part of a post can be edited. But I agree with OP in standing by it once others have brought it up

          Edit: this place is unlike reddit in many ways but seeing the downvotes on your question I have to accept there’s more similarities than I would like.
