I am also curious whether Boyfriend has ever had a stutter, stammer or other speech issue that could be an innocent explanation for this

there are SO MANY words and names I struggle with due to a combination of

memory issues + auditory processing issues + trouble making certain mouth shapes[1]

It took me YEARS to get it right when I had two friends [both white] spelled Anna,

and one was pronounced ARRR - NA

and the other was pronounced ANN - A

& that was despite trying really really hard

And I am never going to be able to wrap my mouth around "dachshund" - after years of trying I have given up and started saying dash-hound.

[1] When I say that I have trouble making certain mouth shapes, context is that I regularly accidentally swallow my own saliva into my windpipe and have a coughing fit due to mouth-clumsiness whenever I am tired or distracted.
