Disappointed at the @MailOnline referring to King George VI as "stumbling, stammering" monarch. Unnecessarily linking the two terms is lazy writing: it leads to people who stammer being viewed as a comic trope, and is simply derogatory.

What a wonderfully written article, featuring people who stammer around the world and how they approach their stammers. A great read from @KrupaPadhyBBC - we especially love how the interviewee's stammers are 'left in' the text. Have a look:

'A part of me was crying for freedom': The people embracing their stutter

Eighty million people around the world have a natural stutter. Krupa Padhy speaks to those who've decided to embrace it – and discovered surprising benefits.
