First person is generally not accepted in Encyclopedias. I figure we should either choose a gendered singular pronoun, or use the "one" phrasing. Posiduck 04:50, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

We could use you, as in "you might believe X". One seems too formal and rather pedantic. Perhaps we could use "a person", e.g. "a person might believe X, or they might simply suspect X" (assuming you have no objection to singular "they"). Cadr 18:05, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I'd prefer any solution that does not make use of the first or second person. Those both seem less than suited for an encyclopedia. Posiduck 16:08, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Article name question

Isn't 'Language of Thought Hypothesis' (LOTH) more standard than LOT? There is already a redirect from Language of thought hypothesis (and I added one from LOTH) but should the main page be there?
