Glad to see a touch of humor here!

For those that are new to English, or who did poorly in English in school, each of Trayi's rules is written in a way to illustrate breaking the rule. Clever, eh?

Very apropos here, methinks.

I am sensitive to disparagement, whether done individually or globally. I grew up with a slightly retarded older brother who embarassed me all through school. The way I treated him is something I am ashamed of to this day.
Have you ever seen the made for tv film Tru Confessions?

It's a beautiful film about twins. One was deprived of oxyqen during birth and is developmentally disabled. The other, now in high school struggles with her conflicting feelings about her brother.
It's a kids' movie, but so well made, I sobbed!
