nihil,
Caesar usually wrote in the third person.
"Then Caesar, rallying the troops, led them up the hill ...."


As in,
"Then nihil got kicked off SI again."

It sounds so much better than

"I kicked nihil into the ocean."

nihil, haqi is not so sure about that. To use ones given name, or surname, is a very personal thing and, to haqi, seems to more of an aggrandizement than the use of the impersonal (I). haqi is not an expert in the use of the English language (any version used today), so am confused as to how not to be self-assuming.

By putting haqi in the place of (I), did it really sound any better? It sounds to me as if haqi is extremely proud of haqi.

nihil, I've seen many of your posts. You seem to enjoy laughing at people who believe in God. so, my question is, "Why are you posting here?"
