3Nobody seems to have picked up on this, but 'we/us' is first-person plural, not third person. Third-person has 'he/him', 'she/her', and 'they/them'.Angelos– Angelos2022-07-18 23:13:52 +00:00Commented Jul 18, 2022 at 23:13

2@Robbie: You are wrong. My native language is English and I am also a professional writer. I am extremely comfortable with English but not really well-versed in formal grammatical terms. I also was careful to give an explicit example because I know there are other forms of you such as "thou", so I wanted to give a simple example in which substituting "I" would work in one and not the other. As for the other language, I was thinking of Portuguese, but I did not want to say it because I am not 100% sure there isn't some subtlety in Portuguese that I am missing.user457746– user4577462022-07-19 20:41:59 +00:00Commented Jul 19, 2022 at 20:41

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
