Today I got told don't start a sentence with I. 'cuse me? This person has been telling me this for years. I looked around the room after he says this and point out another person who is a leader of that community who just did the same thing and then I get told, well, it's something we strive for. Why do I have to be the perfect one? I'm a peasant in that community, yet I have to be the standard bearer? Geez, that's not fair.

*grumble*
Thanks for this!
