       @SeismoAllegra @danciruli Same. I want to say yes, but really it's no. "We" is considered a plural pronoun, but I wouldn't call it the plural of "I" in the same way that "cats" is the plural of "cat."

       @grammargirl @SeismoAllegra I feel exactly the same way.  I *loved* the question.And, by the way, I loved that he asked it because he has just started learning Spanish. It's making him think about grammar for the first time. What is a plural? What is conjugation? It's pretty cool.
