"The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post "Thou shalt not steal", Thou shalt not commit adultery" and "Thou shalt not lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment." -- George Carlin

A dictionary definition of ‘We" found The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language states: "Used instead of I by a sovereign in formal address to refer to himself or herself."

Assalam aleikum Brs/ Srs, may this message find you in the best of health and iman. Having nationality of country that has a royal family I indeed learned that 'we' (e.g. at start of laws) is 'pluralis majestatis' (royal plural). Not sure if 'God's we' should be same as 'royal we', but perhaps at least it answers Brother's question a bit? In peace, globalnomad |
