    Some people, for reasons I can only speculate on, don’t like speaking in first person singular. In most cases that I’ve seen, they use “we”. I don’t necessarily agree with the practice from a linguistic perspective, the English language is already a garbage fire as it is without introducing more ambivalent speech… but then I also want to go back to using “thou” for second person singular, so I’m probably not qualified to speak on the matter.
