Creation and Usage Notes

In the pronouns, I was most pleased with the fact that I was able to introduce an inclusive/exclusive distinction to English pronouns in a way I thought was not only natural, but would make immediate sense to English speakers, upon learning the etymology. I really think this works quite well. -David J. Peterson 16:56, 5 May 2020 (PDT)
