We thank you for this post!

:P

I was just scrolling down my feed and saw this post and nobyeni's and thought it's strange how the titles look similar, but now I see this is intentional.

When they teach writing at school they usually tell you to avoid the "I", and that may be part of the reason for the popularity of the "we". The "we" also strikes a more objective chord, it seems, more impersonal, more newspaper-like, so a reporter will often prefer it.

My writing (especially the philosophy stuff I used to write) is often very individualistic and I employ the "I", but this mode of expression is often frowned upon.
