Subject: Re: one as a pronoun?



I hate the pronoun "one" myself, and I often discourage my students from

using it. I will use it from time to time, but almost always in a

hyperformal tone where I'm trying to be sardonic or ironic, and I'm

usually told to take a tonic. Used seriously, it's just not right.
