Following on..

One popular approach is to make the stutterer slow down and reconstruct their words syllable by syllable, then having them slowly go back to normal speed of delivery.  Not sure how I worked it out, but a friend of mine with a speech impediment that was psychological, well, I worked out that if he said his vowels to kind of prime his words, then spoke quickly, he was clear!  Not slowly.
 
I'm not a speech therapist or anything, but I'm dead proud of that.  He still uses that too.  :))
 
Any help in understanding the great accents mystery?

I read back in the day that one of the ways to deal with a stutter is to use another accent, somehow the mental wiring changes when you put on another accent. Although in the case of brum there’s no discernable mental activity at all, scientists remain baffled ;)

So maybe the british woman in the article had some bad chinese takeout food for lunch, which combined with the migraine to give her the accent?

 

I am glad sex has nothing to do with it.
