Speech fluency is weird - its fluctuates vastly depending on the situation. For example when I am talking to myself or talking to my sister's dog Sam, my speech is 100% fluent. I can say any word - no problem. Words like 'statistical', 'mentorship', 'papa victor' come out completely fine with no stammering, tension or hesitation.
However, transfer to a different situation and I battle to say words like 'the' and 'a'. The table below gives an indication of the percentage of words I say in the situation that I want to say. If the table says 50% it doesn't mean that I stutter on 50% of the words, rather that I am only able to say 50% of what I want to say. The other 50% of the words I stutter on, just don't say or substitute for a different word.
