The start of a new beginning.

So I'm pretty much convinced that there is something slightly wrong with my Broca's area*. No, it isn't severe damage, I'm sure. But if you have tried to hold a conversation with me before, you probably know of my tendencies to 1) talk too fast for my own good, causing me to 2) stutter, and 3) have a constant misuse of and unnecessary use of (?) vocabulary words.

*Broca's area is a section of the brain that is involved inlanguage processing, speech production, and comprehension.

According to Wikipedia (aka my best friend):


People suffering from damage to this area may show a condition called Broca's aphasia (sometimes known as expressive aphasia, motor aphasia, or nonfluent aphasia), which makes them unable to create grammatically-complex sentences: their speech is often described as telegraphic and contains little but content words. Patients are usually aware that they cannot speak properly. Comprehension in Broca's aphasia is relatively normal, although many studies have demonstrated that Broca's aphasics have trouble understanding certain kinds of syntactically complex sentences.
