Coincidentally, Quebec uses "we" a lot in their ads, especially as a way to say "this is how things ought to be done". For example, "this December, we vote". German also has "man" which almost directly translates to "one" (the pronoun). | ||

Swedish also has the "man" and I hate when people use it to project feelings or experiences on me that I don't have. I know for some people it's just how they speak – instead of saying "I get the urge to scream" they say "one gets the urge to scream" and they mean themselves only. But my computer-diseased brain interprets it literally and I get the urge to contradict them and say, "No, I don't!" | ||
