Maybe I am fooled by my inappropriate knowledge of English language. In German, the use of "man" (man tut dies, man sagt jenes) is in widespread use, but my impression was that the english pendant of saying "one is doing" instead of "you are doing" is only rarely used, even if the context in which the latter is used is meant to be non-person-specific, and generalised - not wanting to say the adressed person is directly and exclusively meant. If that is what made you angry, I apologize. It's foreign language for me, after all. |
No problem we are cool
