Videos showing people stammering are being classified as comedy on YouTube. It's typical of people's attitude towards the disability, say those with the condition.
"You can see them thinking 'arsey little bugger, I was only having a laugh'. You're the comedy show and if you don't play along you're the one without a sense of humour, the one ruining everyone else's fun."
It's an everyday scenario for someone with a stammer and nearly 750,000 people in the UK have one, according to campaigners.

There are a few who do it on Radio 2 and other radio and TV stations. I don't think it's a bad thing. |

I don't think stammering is a bad thing either. It's quite natural, after all. |

Mrs W has a slight stammer which is fairly dormant for much of the time but occasionally surfaces when she's on the phone.
