QOTD
Some languages have two words for “we”, inclusive (me and others and you) and exclusive (me and others but no you). In English there are three: the regular we meaning you and I, as in “we had dinner together”; the royal we meaning I, as in “we are not amused”; and the marital we meaning you, as in “we need to take out the garbage.”
