What is the difference between stammering and stuttering?

"Stammering and stuttering both mean exactly the same thing. The word "stuttering" is mostly used in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The word "stammering" is usually preferred in the United Kingdom, Eire, India and most other Commonwealth countries.

From the online font of information that is thesaurus.com - I didn't even know Eire was a Commonwealth country... Hmmm (that's why wealth is so common here? Peraps?)

And that, along with the previous post is why I shouldn't try to blog when tired, or operate heavy machinery.

You especially shouldn't blog when operating heavy machinery, I'd say. Maybe we are not in the commonwealth after all. Maybe we are a sub-continent - certainly we are a 'sub' everything these days. DQ
