Though i'm not a fan of the piling on that happens on here, I can't resist posting this excerpt from Wikipedia in relation to Pluralis majestatis (the Royal "we")
It was said that United States Navy Admiral Hyman G. Rickover told a subordinate who used the royal we: "Three groups are permitted that usage: pregnant women, royalty, and schizophrenics. Which one are you?"; similarly, Mark Twain extended this privilege to "people with tapeworms".
Maybe the next poll should be to pick which one we is. Me thinks tapeworms would get a lot of votes.
