The Real Recognise Real Report welcomes you. Although it’s not intended to be grammatically right, that title isn’t. It’s a widespread colloquialism in my family and friend group that emphasises how someone who possesses a certain trait may easily recognise others who also share that trait. Genuine and real people are able to recognise other genuine and authentic people.
