Hey guys,
I was listening to this pod cast today and I agree with you guys 100%. When you say fluency people don't mean anything by it, but like you said it's taking away the true meaning of the word stuttering, it's taking away the pain and isolation. "They" are just sugar coating the topic by using a short word such as fluency. It's much more than just being fluent and trying to become fluent. I have realized that I really don't want to be "fluent" anymore.

B,
We agree with you for sure. Fluency does take away the true meaning of stuttering. Well said!
Peter
