Thread: I’ve just been in a meeting with a chap with a very strange speech impediment

  1. #1

    I’ve just been in a meeting with a chap with a very strange speech impediment

    He kept randomly inserting ‘ge’ sounds into words such that ‘technique’ became ‘tegechnique’ and ‘market’ became ‘magarket’. At one point ‘algae’ became ‘agalgae’.

    It was most off-putting.

    Hard. He was Welsh, but this was a speech impediment over and above that conferred simply by being Welsh.

    Hmm. Could it be related the the Sgecouse throat-rasp? North Wales is pretty much Merseyside, after all.

    There is something about it that can override all your decent instincts and make you unreasonably hate them for it, isn’t there?
