Apologizing For Stuttering

I wrote up a piece about apologizing for stuttering on my other blog (yeah, I stay pretty busy and love to write). I wanted to write about it based on a conversation I had with a friend who stutters who was describing to me a tough speech day he had, experiencing long blocks when in a conversation with his Professor. My friend told me he said "I'm sorry" after the blocking moment.

I asked him about that, and we had a lengthy conversation about why we apologize, and how sometimes saying "I'm sorry" doesn't mean an apology at all.

This post generated some good responses. Please take a look, by clicking on the title of this post. I would be interested in what you think! You may run across this with future clients who stutter.
