...more to English

While discussing my recent post on the healthy progession of the English language, I was reminded (by Neeve McShoe...kudos!) how cruel the language is to people who have speech impediments.
Examples:

Lisp... for people who can't pronounce 'S', that's a bit much.
Stutter... could you fit any more 'T's in that word?? Why not add a few hyphens...

and to add spice, Jonathan Ross' parents must have been a laugh ("I'm Jonaphan Woth").

Still... shows you what a progressive Language it is, can laugh at itself so gracefully.
