As a child with a stammer, I would have said: everything. One of those hidden disabilities: you don't look disabled, but it can be worse than having a missing leg. |

All my life I have hated DETERIORATE /D/ion. Think about it, it's a hiddeous word. My husband says PACIFIC when he thinks he is saying SPECIFIC. We all have one or two don't we? As a child I used to have a SOLDIER BAG, well it hung on my soldier/shoulder. Deanna X |

My daughter couldn't say vegetable when she was a kid - she used to say VEGIBITLE. I had a boss who always said PACIFICLY instead of specifically. Lynne |
