   note: we is frequently used to express men in general,
         including the speaker. we is also often used by
         individuals, as authors, editors, etc., in speaking of
         themselves, in order to avoid the appearance of egotism
         in the too frequent repetition of the pronoun i. the
         plural style is also in use among kings and other
         sovereigns, and is said to have been begun by king john
         of england. before that time, monarchs used the
         singular number in their edicts. the german and the
         french sovereigns followed the example of king john in
         a. d. 1200.
