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.
