Joking aside, In the grand scheme of things it won't hurt you anymore than liking vanilla ice cream over chocolate. (which is to say, not at all) You might find it useful to slow your speech down, it gives you time to think about what you say, and if you encounter a stuttering block it's better to slow down from slow-speech to stop, than to go from speaking at 100mph to a complete stop.

Didn't you already post this and get lots of good answers?

It didn't affect you getting a foreign degree, so what's the problem?

I see, you need some hand-holding. its cool.
You can spend a large amount of time in the OR, uttering the occasional word and just focused on the task at hand. Knew quite a few attendings like that when I was a resident.
