Thread Name: BS: What constitutes a bad post?
Subject: RE: BS: What constitutes a bad post?
Let me explain about my use of pronouns:
"I" means I did it - myself, alone, of my own accord.

"We" means it was done by more than one person, or done by an individual in consultation with others. Most Mudcat editorial decisions fall into this category.

"We" is never an individual. I never use the "royal we."


The interesting, sad and most telling point - is that the words 'we' or 'I' used by you - never appears to mean 'us' anymore.
