I understand why "PWS" is more appropriate than "stutterer," and I try to use it in discussing the subject, but I have no problem in referring to myself as "a stutterer." I recall in a Q&A after one of my speeches, a member of the audience was nice enough to say that she didn't think I was a "stutterer" because she couldn't hear it. I told her that while she might not hear it, I could certainly feel it and if she wanted to follow me around for the rest of the day, I would show her some stuttering doozies. So, for my part, I'm a guitar picker, I'm a golfer and I'm a stutterer. I do the first two somewhat crudely. I do the latter beautifully.
