king’s spEch wins bst pic Oscar txt it on!

The King’s Speech, which just won the Best Picture Oscar, inspired this cartoon. Speech? It seems to be becoming an endangered species… : )
I don’t “speak” text message myself, so I used this Lingo Translator site to convert plain English to the text messages shown below.
Here’s the exchange in plain English: Kid on the left: “Did you see The King’s Speech? Stuttering sucks.” To which the kid on the right replies: “Yeah, everybody needs to talk.”

It certainly is… : ( Thanks for catching a bad slip on my part, and for bringing it to my attention so diplomatically. My original post failed to include the exchange in plain English, forcing the reader to try to puzzle it out in order to get the joke. Thanks to you, I’ve corrected the problem by adding the plain English translation, which greatly improves the post. I sincerely appreciate your help!
