Does anyone have a lisp besides me in the United States?For people that don't know what a lisp is,its a strange physical//mental condition that makes your "s" and "z" sounds more different.Now,I dont have a mental condition,so I'm not like crazy or anything.My orthodontist thinks it can be a result of my crooked teeth(sorta buck but not that much.)
Lisp? So the Sa's and the Za's aren't performed as should be expected? I don't have that problem, but throughout elementary and middle school, I had a very hard time shaping and pronouncing my R's. I often catch myself saying Wa's every now and then.
Hmm...well, I don't have a lisp, but I just wanted to say something: whose cruel, cruel idea was it to put an "s" in the word meaning a person who can't say their "s"'s properly?!

I used to have one when I first got my expander (an orthodontic device that goes in the top of your mouth and spreads your jaw or something like that). I'd be like I have an "eccchhh-thpandur" I'm okay now, though.
what you call cruel, the rest of us call hillarious.

Same. I coudn't say "girl" correctly. I sitll have trouble with it actually. Comes out giwl. and "wrold" cmoes out wowld.
On a sort of lighter note, I remember listening to a christian radio station fairly late at night, and they put on a rapper with a lisp. It sounded sort of like "you just gotta expwess yousewf". I found it hilarious
I have a tiny lisp after getting my braces tightened, but that's all. I used to need to do speech classes for my Ss and Zs, even though I didn't have a lisp, I wasn't forming the sounds correctly or something.

The same people who decided to spell phonetically that way.
I used to say free instead of three, but I found that if you concentrate hard enough you can get rid of it. It no longer plagues me.
