"We" is a fun sounding word. There is "wee" - which feels great after pounding a few beers. And it's the first part of my favorite band Ween. There is "Wii" - which I haven't tried yet, but it looks fun. And there is "Weeeeeeeee!" - which makes you feel like a kid again. Often followed by "wee." I'm just kidding of course. It's Friday and I'm feeling frisky.</p> http://austinist.com/2007/12/06/beautifully_bit.php#comment-1247121 http://austinist.com/2007/12/06/beautifully_bit.php#comment-1247121 Comments Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:26:46 -0600 <p>While I generally appreciate the timely and concise writing on the Austinist, this particular entry proved mighty irksome. 1) What's up with the excessive use of pluralis majestatis (aka the "royal 'we'")? You are the writer of a blog, not the friggin' Queen of England. It makes your writing appear a bit sophomoric and insecure. 2) Please drop the anonymous bylines. This ain't the Economist magazine. If we gotta login and post our names with our comments, it's only fair that your writers play by the same rules.</p>
