Meanwhile, I did my own Googling, and I only found one style guide that mentions capitalization in stuttering (CMoS), and it basically says, “We prefer lowercase letters after the initial capital, but it’s not a rule, so do whatever”. So, I’m not sure there even IS an authoritative answer. But, I’d be happy to be corrected. | |

Slightly improved typography and tags in hopes of “bumping” this question, which lacks any authoritative answer that cites a reference after 7+ years.

Made it clearer that this only pertains to the capital letter if stammering at the start of a sentence.
