It is known as the "editorial" or "authorial we".

Then save your editorial "we" until you can actually prove you are "speaking" for someone other than just yourself.

Glory! At last a post from Mrs DaWitless that shows signs of intelligence! Perhaps there is a God after all?

Never let it be said I am not a fair and reasonable gal!

Do you remember the difference between "ascribe" and "subscribe"?

BTW the "speaking" in your post doesn't need the quotation marks.

Try to just write by instinct instead of trying to be clever. You are attempting to use a vocabulary that is sometimes over your head; and sometimes the words you think are "educated" words are just not appropriate in the contexts you use them.

Try to avoid all the words like "valid", "rectify", etc, that just make you sound affected and silly. Such words have their place, but that place is not the way you use them.

Are you SURE that you are using those infractions the way the authors of them intended them to be used?

Get with the program please, sister.

Considering this is a Christian Forum, where we are here to rejoice in the Love of Christ and you are offering NOTHING as contribution to that cause, then the infractions are warranted.

If I were a less tolerant woman, I would have banned you well before now.

Please, sister, I have already rejoiced in the Lord's revelation that you can on occasions show incipient signs of intelligent life in your posts.

Praise! Glory!

So I know what to look forward to if I marry a fine Christian man, would you tell me in detail how your husband chastises you?

I somehow doubt any decent True Christian man would even entertain the thought of having you in his life, let alone consider you as a spouse.

Your back-handed compliments are not doing you any favors either.

You were entertaining for a time, but you aren't even proficient at trolling. Perhaps you realized that from the get go, hence naming yourself skank.

Why not write "good at trolling"? Do you think "proficient" makes you sound more educated and intelligent?
Prefer the Saxon word to the Romance."

I used proficient as it is lesser than GOOD. less than adequate.

Frankly, you pretty much suck at trolling.

Does that terminology work better for you Pasterfarian, skank?

"Proficient" means "skilled" or "expert".

So she's not skilled or expert just good at trolling?Did you say:"I used proficient as it is lesser than GOOD. less than adequate."That is not correct. That is the opposite of what is correct."Profcient" means much better than good, and much much better than merely adequate.And for heaven's sake drop the "hences" and the "initials". It is not clever to use such words; it just makes you look silly and pretentious. Perhaps we need another forum or blog somewhere devoted to "Landover Illiteracies". Or devoted to the "Landover Illiterates". You would be the obvious poster girl.

That is not correct. That is the opposite of what is correct.

Profcient means much better than good, and much much better than merely adequate.;

And for heaven's sake stop using words like hence and initial is contexts that are not appropriate. It is not clever to use such words; it just makes you look silly and pretentious.

Odd how you have the same mindset as the pasterfarian skank!

Good is better than adequate, just as good is better than proficient. People can be skilled or hold degrees in certain subjects whereby being proficient, but it does not mean they are actually good at it. Pasterfarian skank isn't skilled; ie proficient. Nor are you.
