Organizations that support those who stutter are angry at Apple for allowing some of the company’s devices to automatically suggest the use of a woozy face emoji when the word “stammering” is typed. Stammering is often used as a way to convey stuttering and Apple’s actions have led a British charity to describe Apple’s support for stammering as “demeaning and damaging.”
People who stutter or stammer are considered to have a neurological decision that makes it hard for them to speak. “Someone who stutters will repeat, prolong or get stuck on sounds or words. There might also be signs of visible tension as the person struggles to get the word out.” Some, like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, will outgrow stuttering while others have issues with it throughout their lives.
