Why do my words get mixed up when I talk?
When stress responses are active, we can experience a wide range of abnormal actions, such as mixing up our words when speaking. Many anxious and overly stressed people experience mixing up their words when speaking. Because this is just another symptom of anxiety and/or stress, it needn’t be a need for concern.
Does aphasia go away?
Aphasia does not go away. There is no cure for aphasia. Aphasia sucks—there’s no two ways about it. Some people accept it better than others, but the important thing to remember is that you can continue to improve every day.
Can anxiety cause speech problems?
People who are anxious may feel like they can’t keep up with their thoughts and may speak much faster as a result, which can cause stuttering or slurring. Communication difficulties due to anxiety may become even more apparent among people with other underlying speech impairments, as well.
Can you have aphasia without having a stroke?
FALSE – The most frequent cause of aphasia is a stroke (but, one can have a stroke without acquiring aphasia). It can also result from head injury, cerebral tumor or other neurological causes.
Is rolling your R’s genetic?
There’s no real equivalent in English to the rolled ‘r’. That’s what makes it so notoriously hard for native English speakers who are used to the very hard R sound. Despite this, it is possible to learn this skill. Being able to roll your ‘r’s isn’t a genetic trait like, say, being able to roll your tongue.
What is an example of aphasia?
For example, a person with Broca’s aphasia may say, “Walk dog,” meaning, “I will take the dog for a walk,” or “book book two table,” for “There are two books on the table.” People with Broca’s aphasia typically understand the speech of others fairly well.
Is there such a thing as dangerous speech?

Which is the most serious threat to freedom of speech?
The first, and most serious, is legal punishment by the state, which usually consists of a financial penalty, but can stretch to imprisonment (which then, of course, further restricts the persons free speech). The second threat of sanction comes from social disapprobation.
Which is outside the scope of dangerous speech?

What are the dividing lines in dangerous speech?
Common dividing lines include race, ethnicity, religion, class, or sexual orientation, but in some cases dangerous speech is aimed at groups defined by other characteristics, such as occupation, like journalists.
