Area Blogger Eschews "I"
Area blogger Thomas O'Reilly has forsworn the use of the personal pronoun "I" in blog posts. This despite referring to himself 12,842 times over the past nine blogging months.
"I just decided I was too focused on "I" and was constantly inserting me, me, me in my posts," O'Reilly said. "I'm tired of foisting my opinions on others just because they are my opinions".
When asked how long he thought he could forswear "I", O'Reilly said, "for the rest of the week at least".
Local pundits look for an increase in phrases like "one would think..." and "It occurs to this mind..." to compensate.
