I don't. :-) I can be fluent when standing in front of the class and as soon as I make a phone call, I stutter. But I try not to think too much about it, say what I want to say and try to speak clearly, so that at least my message comes through. Short sentences do help as well. And as soon as I got started, my stutter reduced slightly, which relaxes me, which improves my speech. I still don't like the phone, but I don't let it win, for I know that, once I loose control over my stutter, I will loose myself...again... And I have the right to talk and have something to say that's worth listening to. So if people cannot accept that, well, that's their loss. :-) (Easier sad than done, I know, and it took me many years to get me to where I am today, but this battle is worth fighting for!) Anita
