ERDoc Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) When you use words like 'we' and 'our,' you are implying ownership. Learn English. EDIT: Sensor button was nonexistent. Edited August 31, 2012 by ERDoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSL2786 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) so your saying you dont realize that all situations are subjective? If you lived with a roomate and someone called you and asek where you lived.. would it be wrong for you to say "our house is..." or "we live near...""

KSL2786 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yeah. Look at number two. 2. Used to refer to people in general, including the speaker or writer: Thanks for helping prove my own point for me Not that bright for an ERdoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to refer to people in general, including the speaker or writer: Thanks for helping prove my own point for me WTF? People in general, including the speaker or writer, not excluding the speaker or writer. Again, this thread has outlived it's usefulness. Goodnight. EDIT: way to ignore the most common usage.

KSL2786 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Yeah but you ASSUMED that when I said "we" I meant my parents and I. When really, it could have meant me and any number of people. Edited August 31, 2012 by KSL2786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFIB Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) A 50 lb dog can be a force to be reckoned with. I have hunted with 50 lb dogs that fight, catch and hold 200 - 250 lb wild hogs. Dogs have more fighting heart than possibly any other domestic animal. If a dog wants to hurt someone, it is certainly capable of doing it. I would never belittle a dog for weighing 50 lbs.
