Some people, for reasons I can only speculate on, don’t like speaking in first person singular. In most cases that I’ve seen, they use “we”. I don’t necessarily agree with the practice from a linguistic perspective, the English language is already a garbage fire as it is without introducing more ambivalent speech… but then I also want to go back to using “thou” for second person singular, so I’m probably not qualified to speak on the matter.
“It saw” ?
Its pronouns are it/its.
Yeah, but I think it is speaking in first person, about itself. So it should be “I saw” and “I think”, regardless of its pronouns in third person.
Yeah that’s what confused me

Nope. Thou is just superior. The fact there is no distinction between second person singular and plural is fucked up.
*its (not it’s)
Edit: actually the whole thing should be:
its pronouns are it/it
(first “it” corresponds to “he”, “she”,
second “it” corresponds to “him”, “her”)
That was autocorrect ¬_¬
