Always him or her... lol I agree with you on the "we" factor too. I do a lot of fundraising copy where "you" figures quite prominently, and "we" not quite as much. "We" gives the feeling that we are all in this together, and also lets people know that it is not all up to "you". Ask for just a bit of the sacrifice, but give "you" all of the praise. ~Graham Hi Cath,

I am another lover of the YOU word. I try to be careful though, as I've used the you word in articles referring to mistakes before and folk have emailed me asking if I meant them specifically. But most of the time it works well. I like using "we" too - I think it reminds folk that we're on the same wave length and I'm learning too - I don't know everything about my topic. <em>Cath Lawson's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuccessPasscode/~3/389801787/' rel="nofollow">7 Questions To Ask Before You Launch A Business</a></em> Hi Graham - this is a great article.

I think of this now and again but I don't make serious efforts at it. You laid it out so simply, it's a print-and-keeper. With this nearby, you'll inspire me to remember not just with the deeds, but with the actual words, to make it all about you!
