I saw a sign at school ðat said

THINK before you speak

• T = is it True?

• H = is it Helpful?

• I = is it Inspiring?

• N = is it Necessary?

• K = is it Kind?

ðis has numerous issues, while generally if you want to have a positive effect, it should be at least one of ðese, ðe way it’s phrsed would seem to suggest ðat one should only say it if it is all of ðese þings; however, someþing can be true wiþout being helpful, someþing can be necessary wiþout being kind, someþing can be helpful wiþout being necessary, et cetera.
