Perhaps only three categories are needed: “G,” for young audiences, “T” for teenagers, and “A” for adults. These categories would be not be keyed to specific content but would reflect the board’s considered advice about a film’s gestalt and intended audience.

I love reading your quotes, Mr M. When I grasp the context, I'm always pleased to be reading what I am.

But when I don't grasp the context, as in your first two quotes here, it's as if I've read two of the quotes placed in the "Discuss" section of a General Studies exam.

Mind-boggling ...

Thanks, Colin.

I've gone back and forth about including some context in my post. I used to do that, but recently decided to try it this way to intrigue and encourage clicking through. If it's annoying though, I don't mind adding some context again.
