I thought I'd grown out of mine, but I made a video the other day and ****ing hell if anything it's got worse. :colondollar:

Though people do tend to tell me that I notice it way more than other people do.

Have you tried speech therapy?

Good for you! :tongue:

I'm told I talk slower than the average person but I'm not sure which would be worse for a lisp. Fast and it all runs together or slow and it's super obvious. :beard:

none cos I speak proper

Negligible :erm:

I have perfectly clear diction (to the extent that I am the voice of the fire alarm announcements at my workplace, 'proceed to the nearest exit in an orderly fashion' &c.) and perhaps know how to pronounce these words, still I cannot give voice to any of 'imbroglio', 'sojourn' or 'chagrin'.

Unanimity.
