I swear my cat understands english, I'll tell him something like "no cookies until bed time" then right when I'm getting ready for bed he's meowing by the cookie drawer. They do something every day that surprises me with their intelligence.
Officially wouldn’t this be the normal usage of we? In royal we it would mean “I” right?
Yeah, or more specifically "God and I," since monarchs were ostensibly the mouthpiece of God.
Yeah she actually means the Pluralism Benevolentiae. E.g. when a nurse is saying "We go to the toilet now, aren't we?" but it actually means "You must go to the toilet but I will be there with you".
There is also the Pluralis inclusivus like in scientific texts. Which I personally find really weird.
My team and I have come to the conclusion that we don’t like you for finding the pluralis inclusivus weird.
Does that term come from linguistics? I'd like to learn more about it
"One does not simply defecate on the postman"
"We do that together!"
I can hear that British accent
It sounds American to me
Maybe I misheard it
