"I can tell you the rules that governs this issue"

should be

"I can tell you the rules that govern this issue"

I was thinking of expressing one rule to address the issue and, when I 
realized it could most readily be expressed as two rules, forgot to change 
the verb - a common source of this particular error.

Naturally, it has to happen in the sentence where I try to establish my 
bona fides for addressing the issue. I am constantly humbled by being 
human, which I suppose is a good thing.

Sorry about the error.
