The Married "We"
Moonhogg - Captain Coffee Break Started conversation Feb 27, 2009
Most people have heard of the term "the Royal 'WE'" - as in "We are not amused", and "We are a grandmother"...
But how many have noticed the Married "We"...?
Typical useage:
"We need to decorate"
"We need to clean the windows"
"We need a new kitchen"
No "we" don't. You do. I'm quite happy with the kitchen.
Then there's also "We converted the loft last summer"
Closely related to the Married We is the Married Just.
"We Just need to wallpaper two rooms"
"We Just need to put up some decking"
"We Just want to do a bit of shopping"

"We need to" usually means "... and you're going to do it"

Warning: It *may* work both ways - but as I said, this is the "Married We", not the "2-Months-Together We"...
Don't say I didn't warn you...
