(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

King George VI

King George VI of the United Kingdom, who reigned during WWII, suffered from a speech impediment for which he began seeing a speech therapist in 1925 (when he was Duke of York, before ascending to the throne). In 1939, at the start of the war, he made a speech to the British people. Despite some pauses he managed to finish it without stuttering.

The relationship between the king and his speech therapist is being brought to life in the new movie The King's Speech.
