Usage notes edit
- As a personal pronoun, this is used to distance oneself from a personal statement without denying that the speaker is the one being discussed. An especially common use is to imply that one's opinions or preferences are (probably) held or shared by more people than oneself.
- Treated grammatically as a third-person pronoun.
