There’s no ‘I’ in Team but There’s a ‘U’ in Me.

I’d like to start off by saying yes, I am fully aware that the word ‘me’ does not have a ‘u’ in it. As I was growing up, my stepfather always used to say something to me: “Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are” and, to be honest, although I understood [...]
