Coming to a town near you - SOON

[JBR]

you are seeking clarification of my position using the third person

Is your English that weak that you assume that I'm speaking for others on here with the use of the term "we"?

Surely, 'we' is the FIRST person!

The poor chap is of a different subcultural tribe

Does anyone know what Newboy's position/opinion actually is since reading through the thread doesn't make it any clearer and he, himself doesn't seem to know

First person is "I" - I don't understand
Third person is "we" - we don't understand

Ah - stage one tribal

Used when feeling the need to garner support

PMSL - "We" is third person. Was of the opinion that this was first person plural. (I, you, (s)he, we, you, they)

Garner support???? LOL. What is your view you idiot?

 

[JBR]

First person is "I" - I don't understand
Third person is "we" - we don't understand

Sorry, but I had to laugh. Look things up before you make statements like that. It saves looking (more) like an idiot.

Quick English lesson, Newboy:

I = first person singular
you = second person singular (or plural)
he/she/it = third person singular
we = first person plural
they = third person plural

There you go; no charge.

Well that'll teach me to be a smarta*se

I'll wait for the pack of wolves to tear me apart

No problems. It's the sort of thing most of us learned in nursery.

Now, without any tit for tat, what was the point you were trying to make?

You forgot to remind him about the apology!

Didn't take me long to spot a tit. And as for the tat,

Well 103 posts to be accurate and, as the old saying goes, it takes one to know one.

If you're looking for t'at try around Ilkley Moor (no use actually looking on the moor as there are no ats there)

@ Newboy,

I must admit that although we don't agree on certain things, you do take "incoming" quite well....
