Can you tell me who We are? I give you the following definition from the Cambridge English Dictionary: we (GROUP) pronoun
1. (used as the subject of a verb) the speaker and at least one other person when considered together or as a group: Can we all go to the swimming pool this afternoon? If you don't hurry up we'll be late. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.as...&dict=CALD Charles, If you can come up with a better collective noun for "participants on this forum" - then please do. Otherwise, what's wrong with "we" (NB: lowercase 'w')? It seems perfectly consistent with the standard usage & dictionary definition of the word! |
