Otto Fisch thinks that what's been nominated is people who refer to themselves in the third person. And Otto Fisch agrees with this nomination.

>It's not necessary and it makes you sound either pretentious or idiotic.<
Indeed...
Loup d'Argent definitely agrees with that...

Well are we just talking English langauge here? Cos the French use "on" a lot when they are referring to je or nous...
Would all French-speaking peoples be sent to Room 101 if this were to be voted in?
And what about her maj - doesnt she refer to herself as "one"? Are you suggesting an anti-royalist revolution?

OI!!!...
Anyway, you've just explained in the same posting that >the French use "on" a lot when they are referring to je or nous<... It's _not_ to il or elle... so that won't work...

OK we need to clarify what's meant by "speaking in the third person".
If one were to write a sentence like this, one would be using the third person singular.
If Lucky Star gave her opinion, she'd also be using the third person.
Now, is the proposal for Room 101-isation for both these forms, or just the cases where the speaker refers to themselves by their own name? (I cant say I've come across the latter much - maybe it's only people talking about footieball
who do it. In which case I can think of a far better category to be dispatched to Room 101 )
