A Twitter post by Dana Schwartz @DanaSchwartzzz that reads Whenever I scold my cat, I use the royal we" so she doesn’t feel so ashamed. “We don’t eat that. We don’t chew on electrical cords," I say. It’s as if I, too, have a problem with eating wires or plastic I found on the floor and she and I are working on that problem together.

    It’s as if I, too, have a problem with eating wires or plastic I found on the floor and she and I are working on that problem together.

    That’s precisely not the royal we. The royal we would imply that she means only herself and not herself and her cat.
