Quick Grammar Tip...

Being politically correct is becoming more and more crucial these days. This tip will help not accidentally offend some people while you speak.

It’s called people first speech. A person is a person before anything else. They are not “Down syndrome people” or “autistic kids”. They are people with a disability. Putting the adjective before the noun labels the person as if they are less of a person. Obviously, that is not the intent, but as a supporter of correct English and everyone being happy, please be careful of what you say when you describe someone.

It primarily centers on Fugo and his encounters with three new stand users.
