Hi Jonas. Your writing was extremely insightful to me. It is easy to take for granted the teachers and therapists I am learning from. I read in your article that it is viewed that the "tongue has been condemned to be too long or too short". In class, we learned that in the past when they considered it to be from a malformed tongue that they surgically removed parts of the tongue to stop the stuttering. I was wondering if that has ever been a technique used in Africa for people who stutter?
