Linguistic navel gazing.

One month into being married and I’ve noticed the surge in use of plural words.

As if  wearing a tiara on your wedding day makes you suddenly a member of royalty.

“Yes, * we * will be making it to your party.”

“Not sure if  * we * can make it.”

“* We * are so excited to see you!”

“I don’t know. Let me check. * We * might have something already.”

So the regular replacement of the oft used and bemoaned singular  has been supplanted by the new communication darling of * We *.

It’s weird. But * We * don’t really mind, do * we * .

Yes…and when you don’t use the “we”…as in *I’m* moving to Vancouver…people think that you’re doing it by yourself and leaving the hubby behind.
