I've never heard of this word before. According to my source: "The word for the habit of referring to oneself excessively in the third person singular is "illeism" (from Latin "ille" meaning "he").

Hydra finds this so annoying. He wonders what the point is.

I seem to recall an episode of Seinfeld about this. Can anyone remember?

Edit: After all that I forgot my question!

Question: Is there a word for the "we" people use to mean "you" as in "Are we enjoying ourselves, hm?"

Hydra also finds this annoying.

And by the way, "illeism" was coined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge!
