There's the "royal we" - meaning is clear, one or both or all present. That's the one I like.

But in 2024 pronouns are a nonsense. People pick one for themselves from the pronoun lolly shop and insist that you respect their choice.
I wish people would appreciate grammar - it's really fun and interesting. Learning German it's imperative, and other languages too probably.

'We' could mean one person especially in hospitals: How are we doing today, Mrs...?

Yes, that use to be irritating in Hospital. How are "We" today? Well nothing was wrong with the Nurse and I'd tell her so too. I don't know about you but not much as changed since yesterday with me. πŸ™‚ Keep in mind it is not "WE" who have the problem it is me. Yes, I know very blunt, but you all know by now I don't candy coat anything.

Dutch artist expelled from Eurovision Song Contest is likely to face charges, Swedish police say

https://apnews.com/article/eurovision-contest-dutch-expelled-joost-klein-88d67564f942388255ce0feb1f342af7

Police spokesman Jimmy Modin told The Associated Press their investigation into the incident was over and that a decision on the charges should come “within a few weeks.” He did not elaborate on the nature of the threats that the Dutch performer is accused of making.

Details of what happened backstage are unknown.

The tabloid Aftonbladet said, citing an unnamed source, that Klein at one point became stressed by all the photographers and asked them to stop filming. When one photographer got close, he raised his arm with a fist and lunged at the photographer, the paper said.

I haven't followed this - how does other media report about it?

So I would assume he REALLY didn't want to be photographed. πŸ™‚
