Among experts and the general public, there is a debate as to how specific years of the 21st century should be pronounced in English.[1] Although the majority of English-speakers say "two thousand X" for years of the current decade, in theory this could mean any year up to 2999.

The term bank charge which is also inaccurately known as “unfair charges” covers all charges made by banks to their customers. The term often relates to the charges in respect of personal current accounts.

In this article I am going to be writing about a typical day that I had during the period when I had a stutter. This will include describing the emotional and mental feelings that I was experiencing at the time. I hope you enjoy the read.

I had this form of speech impediment for eighteen years, between the ages of four and twenty-two. I am pleased to let you know that I was eventually able to eradicate the stutter from my life and that I have now been fluent for the last thirteen years.

This example was from when I was aged nineteen.

7.45am

I should really get myself out of bed and into the shower as I need to leave for work in thirty minutes; the problem however is the fact that I am really tired as I have hardly slept all night. I kept worrying about going to work, worrying about stuttering at work, worrying about my colleague Craig who is always goading and laughing at me. How I would love to punch him in the mouth!

I am thinking about phoning in sick, I have done this three times in the last two months though for the same reason as today, if I continue in this vein then I will no doubt get the sack.

7.55am

I finally get out of bed and head for the shower; I really do not want to do this. Life sucks!

8.05am

I go down stairs and walk into the kitchen to get myself a quick drink. In the kitchen there is my dad and my sister. They start to talk to me, they seem so bloody happy! Am I the only one who has to struggle in this way? I say the minimum in return and head off for work.

9.00am

Here we go again; another day in the madhouse that is work. As I enter the office I make eye contact with Craig. He smirks like a lion waiting to pounce on his target. Ignore him I say to myself as I sit down at my desk. I have a quick chat with God, I ask him to help me through the day and speak to him about certain things that I have heard in the news.

This was part one of my day living with a stutter; I could go on forever but do not want to bore people. I will be writing part two shortly and the article will have the title "My Stuttering Day - Part Two" if you want to continue the read etc.
