It is not always a case of speech impediment though. Bostonians as a whole have an inability to pronounce the letter "R" as one example. One for linguisticians.briantrumpet said:...

Hmmm. Quite correct. Thinking about it they seem to cope if the "R" is at the beginning/middle (Bruins too) but not at the end. 🤔
Edit - For shiggles and gits ask a Bostonian to say "mirror". "Meeyoh".The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I have a minor problem with Rs myself depending on the letter they precede or follow. Oddly it seems to have developed over time and also seems common among my extended family. Makes it difficult when we have to say our surname!briantrumpet said:Munsford0 said:

I seem to remember some humour around Roy Jenkins having to mention the Warrington Brewery at the by-election there.

And if I'm going to be all wokey-dokey, it probably ought to be labelled a 'speech difference', not an 'impediment'.0

Good luck persuading the kids you teach not to spot said difference and pick on the person who has it.0

i have an occasional R issue as well but I find punching people who point it out in their genitals always works wonders at ceasing ny "bantz" immediately.Pross said:

The AG Merrick Garland has appointed a Special Prosecutor for the Trump cases. Various theories flying around, not least that Garland doesn't have the guts to do it now Trump has announced his candidacy for 2024, but another theory, based on the fact that the Republicans have achieved a very narrow majority in the House is that some Congress(wo)men, enough to change the balance in the House, might end up getting charged. Garland is a political appointee of the sitting President, so can be sacked by a new president, but a Special Prosecutor can't be.
All very interesting, whatever...

Donald Musk's Twitter poll went in Trump's favour 52-48%, so Musk has announced that Trump will be allowed back. But the "most honest person ever" (Trump's own words) isn't so sure, and under the rules laid down under the financing of his own Truth Social, he can't share TS posts on Twitter for six hours after posting on TS.

Thing is, he has no charisma, how/why does he engender such loyalty?
He’s like a broken automaton when he speaks.
I get Hitler, he was angry, passionate and he had a vision (however horrific). Trump stands for nothing, is horrible to look at and awful to listen to.
And yet I am now scrabbling around for $99 x 15 for family members to have this wonderful gift.0 -

I particularly like the legal announcement at the end 'no purchase necessary' - what, aprt from the $99 card? But hey, you could win lunch, a Zoom call, one-to-one meeting and autograph as well so sounds like a bargain.0

Anyone else, you'd assume it's a deep fake video.0

You can also get an entry to the same raffle by sending a self addressed envelope.Pross said:I particularly like the legal announcement at the end 'no purchase necessary' - what, aprt from the $99 card?

If anything the experience of Trump has made me question the narrative around Hitler being so charismatic that it mattered and if that narrative was part of the cult-of-personality generation, rather than a key factor in it.morstar said:

I guess that the press in the 1930s wasn't as diverse as it is now for picking up the opinions of Joe/Joanna Bloggs, but I wonder if there were the equivalent of Cakestoppers around then who might have been saying "Charisma, what charisma, he's a stupid, charmless oaf!!" I guess the other difference though is that Hitler wasn't doing it to primarily enrich himself (or was he?)0 -
