Except that I would have to include myself in that category, but I was referring to two others. Too bad the lingua franca here isn't Tahitian. My brother, who served in French Polynesia, says that Tahitian not only has a singular and a plural, but a dual, and it has two plurals, an inclusive (us guys) and an exclusive (you guys). Besides, if we're really getting academically correct about this, we should use a Hebraic formulation, like, say, Zionihimis. Since Pat Buchanan strikes me as the kind of guy who probably thinks the Bible was originally written in English, the joke would be lost on him. But we expect a higher standard here, n'est-ce pas?
