In the interests of moving on with more important things than the symantics of "we", I can attempt to extract the team aspect from my verbiage. I can say for example: "It can be done this way." or "It might be decided that." It sounds cold, and impersonal to me, but if it allows us to move forward with discussing GIMP UI and features, then I'll do my best. -C On Thu, Jun 23, 2016 at 7:06 AM, C R <cajhne@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > So when I say "we can do this", I should say "I can do this"? > I do wonder if people actually read what I post. :) > > -C > > > On Thu, Jun 23, 2016 at 6:34 AM, JLuc <jluc@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> As for the "we" >> Le 22/06/2016 22:48, C R a écrit : >> >>> I admit that I don't care at all who "we" includes.
