asking about tesselation again

[Cekuhnen]

I believe this is another one of those language things that does not translate very well. English speaking Americans often misuse "we" in that context.

"We" as "us" the community. Nothing about American speaking English.

I think it was more openBrain thought that I was sharing this forum account with multiple people
That is a new one to me.

That is exactly what I was addressing.

"We" as "us" the community.

Let's finish this endless off topic justifying.

Cekuhnen, as you cannot control other forum members, just use in future posts the singular and ask what you can do. You joined the forum just two weeks ago, you flood the forum with new topics where you better had reused some of your existing and at least in some topics you could have been more thorough to keep the helpers less busy. I and other forum regulars did much more before starting to say "we".

[Cekuhnen]

I don’t flood the forum - I am currently simply very active.

If that bothers you well sorry.


Your “I try to control others” comment is out of place.
Don’t make such silly assumptions or accusations.

I never said you tried, but you cannot - as was pointed out before. You meant something different when you used "we" than others understood. So you should avoid it. That's hat I wanted to say. We both seem to be non native english speakers, let's at least try to avoid confusion.
And now we should go on if there are more things to discuss about the topic.

Ok got it

FYI while you folks complain about the amount of my forum activity I applied for the wiki access.

With “we” I was actually also considering you because in baby areas you know the facts.

I would be more than happy to ship in the tone to aggregate and write the wiki enhancement.

I noticed either many of your answers you give a pointer but not an example leading to questions asked again till the full picture is there.

In the end the addition to the wiki will factually but also with examples provider new users a better understanding and preventing confusion and questions common up against.

If you want to participate of course.

At the risk of being a bit pedantic, the use of the "Royal We" is very common in informal language. Strict grammarians shudder, of course, but ordinary folks would not even notice. Partly this is a bit of humility, because too much use of "I" is considered a bit unsociable

I am not making any comment about the content or the quantity of posts, only the use of "we".

As they supposedly say in Brooklyn, "fuhgeddaboudit."

Got it - no hard feelings
