Age query

When Grimes appeared on the Lauren Laverne 6music radio show on 3 May 2012, Laverne kept referring to her age as 23, and this went undisputed. This would make her birth year 1989 not 1988. Peaky76 (talk) 11:27, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

speech defect?

Does she have a speech impediment / speech defect? She sings a bit like adeaf person would, is there a source for that anywhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.96.198.225 (talk) 01:15, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, she doesn't. She can be heard speaking on the 6music Lauren Laverne radio show on 3 May 2012. Peaky76 (talk) 11:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've been watching a few interviews on Youtube etc. and she definitely has a slight lisp. This is also confirmed by herself on Twitter according to this site: http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/altreport/2012/grimes-lisp-speech-impediment.html I don't see that being relevant with regards to the article, though. ~Fenrisulfr (talk · work) 11:22, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
