I may as well not be alive if I'm not adapting to people using "we" as a personal pronoun?

  What is there to "adapt"? Whether or not I use "we" to refer to myself doesn't affect you, and also doesn't ask you to change your behavior.

    > Whether or not I use "we" to refer to myself doesn't affect you It affects anyone who reads the article, as it's incorrect english and makes it harder to interpret.

      Pedantically, there is no such thing as "correct" or "incorrect" English as there is no standards body that dictates such rules. You can verb any word you want and people will understand what you mean. You don't have to read the article if it doesn't meet your muster. Why bother caring?

      Who's to say it's "incorrect English?" You clearly understood what was said. This person's identity seems like the least interesting and most irrelevant part of this discussion.
