（单词翻译）

Remember that kid in your grade school class who stuttered? Well, he was in good company–a whopping three million people in the United States alone are affected¹ by this problem. It isn’t life threatening, but it certainly can be life hampering², as anyone who has a stutter can tell you. There’s something very interesting about stuttering, though, which you might not expect: it can be effected by what you hear. For a long time stutterers have understood that talking along in a group, such as when you recite the pledge of allegiance, can make the problem diminish.
