We these "adult Americans" who could not read English natives of America? Were they immigrants to whom English is a difficult second language?Is the house-rules debate so sticky, that it must be derailed in accusations of abnormality, atypical, literacy and whether or not dictionary.com is a valid resource?Personally, I had a lot of house rules, printed out. These also contained guidelines on how I expected people to behave.Rule Excerpt--"No racial jokes or slurs allowed, be a racist bigot on your own time.""If you wake up the kids, YOUR watching the teletubbies with them, not me!""If you badmouth Heather, I hope you brought your coat, it's cold during the TX winter nights.""Physical threats, intimidation or assault will get you booted.""Bring your own dice and smokes, don't leech off of me."</blockquote>
