Here’s a nice profile of the screenwriter behind “The King’s Speech,” who, it turns out, has suffered from stuttering his entire life. Before reading this, I couldn’t relate to the idea of dreading attending awards shows because he might have to stand up and say a few words, but I sure can now. I went to high school with a stutterer, a nice kid named Paul Mosetti. We were friendly, but not the closest of friends, and I graduated more than 30 years ago. So why can I remember his name? Because one time in front of everyone I called him “Paul M-m-m-m-m-m-mosetti.” I still regret that.
