i think we can all agree that "we" sucks, because it can mean (n is n-th person) 1 & 3 | 1 & 2 | 1 & 2 & 3, but this gets a lot worse with plural folks, because instead of only having three parties, each party can have another party, because you can refer to them as a system or to members of the system. to calculate how many meanings we has, we can use the formula 2^(n-1)-1, because we have 2^n possibilities, but we always includes yourself (2^(n-1)), and needs at least one other party 2^(n-1)-1. so instead of 2^(3-1)-1 (3), we can have up to 2^(6-1)-1, so 31, yes, thirty fucking one possible meanings of "we" when you, your conversation partner and a 3rd party are all plural. what the fuck
