ravens can recognize people hold grudges

I think you accidentally a word.

This could be:

• ravens can recognize people and hold grudges
• ravens can recognize that people hold grudges
• ravens can recognize people who hold grudges

Computer programmers would also rejoice at zero-indexing.

This might be the best thing I’ve seen today.
