With some yes.  We've some that'll say this will be quick I got it.  Then they can't remember any of it and want to argue when the director of work corrects them. What's even better is when the director of work doesn't know it either.

Wow.  Usually we have all the "experts" on the side lines throwing words out.  God forbid you pause for a breath or for affect LOL.  Seriously, Our District is very strict on the Ritual.  I have seen charters pulled for not being able to perform degree work.  We have schools clinics and work shops so there really is no excuse.  In my Lodge, if (when) someone does stumble lot of times we have a chuckle, correct and move on...

Knowing the words is important.  But, understanding the words is what it should really be about.  I know Brothers that can regurgitate the ritual and by their actions haven't a clue about Masonry.  I know others that simply cannot memorize and are the finest men I know.

Same here, and we have some old guys that have witnessed so many changes to ritual it's hard to blame them.  If you can't laugh it off and keep moving (IE camel toe ;) ) what's the point?
