I did this presentation because my son was tongue-tied at birth. We just had his tongue clipped today (he's nine months old now) and he seemed to be just fine afterward!

I'm 26, BTW...

I'm an Ankyloglot...woot!

No, actually, I do not enjoy it that much. It sucks. Of course, compared to so much, it's not that bad, but my capacity to stutter has been a factor all of my life. I am afflicted by all you mentioned and the one sound restriction which proves the culmination of this issue is the Alveolar Trill. Argh! :)

Anyway, that's my story and thanks for the video. I'm a 5%er!

@Somalivlogger if ur partner has the same problem then yes it is hard to kiss.. but most people have regular tongues so it doesnt affect ur kissing life as much! :p

@elzbietalalala i have the same story... i am dating a polish guy therefore am learning polish, rolling Rs as a kid was always hard and i never knew why, eventually i just adjusted my tounge in a way that works for me :D

[elzbietalalala]

I am toungue tied and I have no speech problems, and I speak Polish, and apparently rolling the 'R's is the hardest when someone is toungue tied. Pffft, I beg to differ. I've never had speech pathology either. :)

@Somalivlogger Im partly tongue tied (i didnt even no until my friends noticed i couldn't stick my tongue far out at all!) and it depends on how tongue tied you are for me it is no problem at all ;)

[NeglectedField]

I have this, had speech difficulties as a young child so had speech therapy. I speak 'normally' now though I can't roll R's or do that tongue trilling thing (obviously) and I use other techniques to enunciate things clearly, often requiring effort at times. My tone is nasal as a result and combined with my 'well-spoken' manner I must sound annoying to some. The social issues are too upsetting to think about. I'm scared about surgery because of the pain and chance of botching it.

Is it hard to kiss?

@Chiyamaka My point wasn't to argue benefits of breastfeeding vs. formula feeding. As I stated, I actually wasn't trying to argue anything. My point was to ask you how one would feed a baby formula if they couldn't feed from a nipple? A bottle's nipple is designed to mimic a mother's nipple. It was a legitimate question, and you didn't even answer it! I appreciate you commenting back, but honestly - did you even read my posts?

@Chiyamaka You are lucky that you were able to speak fine, therefore not get teased. You are also lucky that you didn't find it painful or uncomfortable. However, you can only speak for yourself. Perhaps you missed the part where to told you about my boyfriend? His WAS painful and/or uncomfortable. He DID get made fun of because he DID talk "funny". Everyone is different.
