I work with someone who has a pronounced stutter. I do not perceive this in any way as a lack of intelligence, nor do I think it is funny. In this case I also do not pity the person because they seem to be at ease with their stuttering. I would only feel pity if they seemed to have a diminished quality of life or a poor perception of themselves because of it. When we are working, the speech impediment tends to lose importance in favor of the work we are doing to the point where I no longer notice it.
