I'm not sure this could be classified as a speech impediment.
But once in a while I will accidentally use the wrong word.
E.g. saying blue instead of red.
Or I might change my mind mid word on what to say, and just start saying that mid word, and gibberish comes out.
It's not a conscious thing, it just happens.
The only thing that bothers me, is that I swap out words. It is not always I notice, which could lead to misunderstandings that I won't be able to correct unless someone asks me to confirm what I meant.
Talking gibberish is not an issue, as I notice right away and will be able to repeat what I actually wanted to say.
I don't act differently because of it, and I do enjoy presenting
