I’m a great believer in the impersonal “one”, and the . What the linguists call an agent defocuser. However, as an editor of academic papers, I have found that neither “one” nor the editorial “we” is in favour at the moment. It is the age of “I” or the passive verb. The former I often find intrusive, and the latter cowardly. limitedinc.blogspot.com/2023/0

Holy Cow! I just watched Bone (1972) and believe it to be one of the better films I've ever seen. I feel now how I felt after watching Pulp Fiction, Withnail and I, or The Swimmer. I love wild films and this is one of them. Pretty damn surreal.
