I find myself stuttering more and more these days. I blame it on the fact that my mind is thinking the words that I want to say just as fast as it always did, but my mouth does not cooperate by saying the words as fast as it used to. Ditto for typing, as I have to go over my writing several times to correct mistakes - once to eliminate words with unintended spaces in the middle of words, once with a spell checker, once to check for good words which wwere not the words I had intended, etc. Ditto for handwriting - if I try to write as fast as i used to, it can't be read - so I have to write i over. And over. And over. Slow down? I've already moved from the fast-paced North to the supposedly slower southern U.S. It might help to slow down more, but I haven't learned to do it yet. It's just a big problem in outputting what comes from my brain. Suddenly I recognize how this affects another string currently on this listserv: checks are hard to write in a store, and folding money is hard to handle, so I use credit wherever possible. You don't have to write anything out, and nobody checks your signature. Then it all reduces to one or two checks a month instead of dozens.
