frogapplause The catch-all term that speech therapists use now is "fluency disorder". Jul 14, 2008

pterodactyl How about aesthetics? The sth sound is hard enough to pronounce without a lisp. Jul 14, 2008
seanahan I also had speech therapy as a young child, I would say my r's as w's as the beginning of words. It went away pretty quickly, although maybe one in a thousand times I'll catch myself screwing it up.
I suggest misses, that would be really tough to say with a lisp. Jul 13, 2008
chained_bear I had speech therapy too, in elementary school. I remember it mostly because I would say my S's and Z's properly when in class, then go back to saying it my way when I left. I thought the whole thing was stupid. The teacher caught me at this I don't know how many times, until my classmates (who said Rs incorrectly) actually were dismissed from class because they improved. I realized then that this was not some kind of endless torture, and if I just did what she wanted, I'd be dismissed too. (A word I pronounced as "dithmithed," probably.) Anyway this new method caught on with me even outside of class--she eventually told me I didn't lisp anymore--and I stopped going. I still don't know if I lisp or not. And I can remember her face but not her name.
P.S. I actually like this list now, so maybe I don't lisp anymore. Jul 11, 2008
plethora Statistics/statistician.
Those two gave me hell when I was about 13. I never had speech therapy, but my parental units declared my lisp gone after a couple of years. Nevertheless, I continued to lisp occasionally into early high school and year 7 maths was a lot of statistics so I had to work really hard to be able to say it.

bilby Fine suggestions. Because I had speech therapy - not entirely successful - as a kid to overcome a lisp, thith litht is thomewhat thubjective. If I have to grit my teeth to say it, it's in. Thanks for your help. Jul 11, 2008
