Allen:
Darwin,as a stutterer,is mentioned in variable sources as a famus person who 
stuttered.Btw,I am a stutterer who manage my stuttering behavior effectively.I 
will be writing a short bio on this.
I was referred to as a stammerer while growing up on the Caribbean island of 
St.Lucia.But when I came to the U.S the term stuttering was used.Dudes like 
Wendell Johnson,Charles Van Riper,and Aubrey Yates
at the University of Western Australia use the term stuttering.

I cannot recall any of the several Darwin biographies I have read
mentioning any speech problem. Where did you get that one from, Michael?

I recall there is a technical difference, but I'll leave that for Michael
to check out on the internet. -:)
