I worked briefly with a man who had what seemed to me more of a nervous affliction than a stuttering problem – whenever he’d try to speak, it’d come out stuttered, but his whole face would freeze and he’d blink and purse his lips as he tried to formulate sentences. At first, I had to bit my lip to keep from laughing. That was my first, instinctual reaction. Then I mentally kicked myself in the behind for it. After a while, I got use to it and eventually didn’t even see it at all. Instead, I just saw the man for who he was: an exceptionally smart engineer, and a really nice and fun guy.
