No, that's fair

And as scc says it's opinions and some may be offended by that. If I were to add anything further it would probably be that (imho) difficulty pronouncing certain letters is at the mild end of impediments and like you, I have seen more serious problems in people close to me. Impediments that cause them great anguish.

But I can't help thinking that this one is less of a big deal and therefore, on that basis, I'm not particularly concerned by the Sun's headline (although it is crap, obviously).
