    Smile I blush and stammer.

    Every time I have to speak in public, I blush and stammer.
    ... I become red and stutter.
    ... my face turn red and I stutter.



    Do all of the above sound right and mean about the same to you? Thanks.

    'I blush and stammer 'is great - just the right words for the meaning.
    'I become red' doesn't sound right at all.
    'My face turns red and I stutter.' is OK. ('stammer' and 'stutter' are synonyms.)

    The idiom is "Roger and out!"

    Sorry - I truncated it

    Roger. Over and out

    It is the term used in radio communications to mean that a message has been received and understood, and and that the operator is ending the transmission and signing "out".

    Thanks, Anglika.
    Roger!

    To make sure, do you suggest that it is more correct to use "Roger and out" instead of "Roger?"
