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 * .
