Sister Susie's sewing shirts for soldiers
Such skill at sewing shirts as shy young sister Susie shows
Some soldiers sent epistles said they'd rather sleep on thistles
Than the saucy soft shirts for soldiers sister Susie sews

Thanks pleth.
Are you sure your nick's not plessora?
The catch-all term that speech therapists use now is "fluency disorder".
I've got a bit of a lisp. Does anyone else find it curious that lisp belongs on this list?
Sixth.
How about aesthetics? The sth sound is hard enough to pronounce without a lisp.
I also had speech therapy as a young child, I would say my r's as w's as the beginning of words. It went away pretty quickly, although maybe one in a thousand times I'll catch myself screwing it up.
I suggest misses, that would be really tough to say with a lisp.
I had speech therapy too, in elementary school. I remember it mostly because I would say my S's and Z's properly when in class, then go back to saying it my way when I left. I thought the whole thing was stupid. The teacher caught me at this I don't know how many times, until my classmates (who said Rs incorrectly) actually were dismissed from class because they improved. I realized then that this was not some kind of endless torture, and if I just did what she wanted, I'd be dismissed too. (A word I pronounced as "dithmithed," probably.) Anyway this new method caught on with me even outside of class--she eventually told me I didn't lisp anymore--and I stopped going. I still don't know if I lisp or not. And I can remember her face but not her name.
P.S. I actually like this list now, so maybe I don't lisp anymore.
Statistics/statistician.
Those two gave me hell when I was about 13. I never had speech therapy, but my parental units declared my lisp gone after a couple of years. Nevertheless, I continued to lisp occasionally into early high school and year 7 maths was a lot of statistics so I had to work really hard to be able to say it.
I thtill lapthe thometimeth. Ith not helpful that my name thtarth with Eth.

Fine suggestions. Because I had speech therapy - not entirely successful - as a kid to overcome a lisp, thith litht is thomewhat thubjective. If I have to grit my teeth to say it, it's in. Thanks for your help.
