Volunteered for NLaG (see link) to deliver stammering awareness training; volunteered also @ Leeds Beckett Uni SaLT. Predominantly the horses nowadays

[Michael Turner @mrmrt666]

Very proud to have presented #stammering awareness training to NHS staff, especially after reading this paper: http://t.co/Y9tzwZTqGK #happy

@RowleyfileRRR @oismurphy I am an armchair viewer these days, but I do remember seeing Sheikh M do it in the enclosure with most if not all of his winners...

🤦‍♂️ ... "stuttering" ... 🤦‍♂️

Stuttering is a disability, Andrew. Please can you find an appropriate alternative... ?

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

From a reasonably strong, confident start by Starmer this has become a stuttering, unsure, unconvincing performance. Raising more questions than it answers. Not yet ‘resignation’ bad. But not going well.

[Michael Turner @mrmrt666]

And another 'stuttering' headline writer ... this time @thetimes along with @5liveSport @RadioHumberside @BBCSport @BBC journalists/commentators/co-commentators/presenters et-al ... no other disability is described in such a way ... 😕

[Michael Turner @mrmrt666]

@BerenCross It's here, too

Actually, it's all over the place. And wrong, imo

[Michael Turner @mrmrt666]

@BerenCross Hi Beren, please have a look again at the adjective "stuttered" in this context. It has been used many times in the sporting world, but the dictionary definition is all about speech and nothing to do with actions on the field of play. "recent drought" explains it .

And another "...stuttering..." via the BBC:

He does this every game, anyway, it's about time and at home, more yellow cards before season end, which might result in reds being issued, we'll see... 🫣

[Michael Turner @mrmrt666]

Personally, I believe "...stuttering..." doesn't need to be in this article, "... babbling..." on the other hand is more apt, imo

[The Spectator @spectator]

These four stuttering incompetents might have just been one small aspect of the catastrophic rot now afflicting every level of the British state – a bit like interviewing four individual cancer cells – but it was telling nonetheless.

[Action for Stammering Children @ascstammering]

Just Listen — a student-led project raising awareness of stammering in schools, launching #ISAD2025!

Born from one student’s courage to speak up, it brings together Holderness Academy, Humber NHS & Siobhan Ward.

I'll need to check, but I don't think he had a 'p' - upper case or lower case - at ~6 or >7yo...

[Alan Delmonte @alandelmonte]

I remember a horse called Crews Hill, maybe trained by Jocelyn Reavey, winning at Lingfield at around 20/1 in about 1984. Hope this is of some help.

Missing Snow Knight, sacrilege! 😉

Wonder if @briantaylor233 has this specific footage?

[Simon Rowlands @RowleyfileRRR]

Fastest sectionals from crossing at entrance to straight for winners of The Derby, 1970 onwards (missing Snow Knight in 1974).

[Michael Turner @mrmrt666]

to describe 'speech' related issues.

Imagine using other disabilities to describe actions on the field of play. Imagine that for one moment, I'm sure it would be quickly escalated and gain traction to highlight the issue at a higher level

[Michael Turner @mrmrt666]

Another, yes, another occasion, the BBC specifically, have used the adjective "stuttering" to describe actions on the field of play... I've lost count how many times it has happened, football mainly, but other sports, too.

Stuttering is a disability and, imo, should only be used
