I mean, "one" can also mean "Myself" (which is in my mind more immediate than "one" as a general group). So it doesn't exactly solve and possibly makes it worse

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoMy feeling is that the use of "one" refer specifically to oneself rather than "anyone" is actually an attempt to gain status through generalization. That is, "one" used instead of "myself" is an indication of social climbing, not synonymity between the terms.
