Exciting development for The Razor

Over the past few weeks as the quality of the content here on the Razor has hit an all time high, we've had a nagging feeling that we weren't being quite pretentious enough. The merch store was a nice touch, but we are always looking to take it to the next level. It is with that in mind that we are please to announce:

The Razor is converting to the "Majestic Plural". The majestic plural (pluralis maiestatis in Latin) is the use of a plural pronoun to refer to a single person holding a high office, such as a monarch, bishop, pope, university rector, or blogger. It is also called the royal pronoun, the royal "we" or the Victorian "we".

One of our literary heroes, Mark Twain, once said, "Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.'" However, he died before the advent of the Internet. It can be assumed that in modern times he would've updated his list to include bloggers. One final thought and we can move on. United States Navy Admiral Hyman G. Rickover told a subordinate who used the royal we: "Three groups are permitted that usage: pregnant women, royalty, and schizophrenics. Which one are you?" He too, is dead. So we'll continue.

Please bear with us over the next few weeks as we convert our writing style from "I", "me", etc. to "we", "us", etc. We can usually count on Cindy to do our proof-reading, but lately she has been too busy failing micro-biology to complete her editing duties.

One last note. A big "Thank You" to everyone who decided to honor their father by taking advantage of The Adam's Razor Father's Day Special 2010. For those who invested in the Gold Package, we promise to e-viscerate your dad on his special day. Please complete the questionaires and submit photos at least 2 weeks before his birthday. We can't spit these things out overnight.
