Sandor Clegane
Who are we?
Some monarchs use "we" to speak on behalf of themselves and their subjects. Other monarchs use the royal "we" to assert their rule by divine right, implying that they act in concert with God.
I had to look up Sandor. I've yet to watch Game of Thrones, so I can't comment. And yes, some monarchs use the "royal we" which is what MyManao seems to be using; like me, I doubt he's been knighted by anyone, including the Hawaiian Kingdom or god. Maybe he means the Californian god?

We
plural pronoun
objective: us possessive: our or ours
- nominative plural of I.
Right. So how did you help?

And what's with the "Sir" thing? Do you think I have a connection with the UK royal family? It's bizarre. I'm not a knight.

Whenever someone would say “we” when they really meant “I,” my father would always ask:
“What, you got a mouse in your pocket?”

That's your opinion. It doesn't make it a fact. And I still don't understand why some here get so upset when asked a question. Perhaps they think they're better than everyone else, so they feel it's outrageous that some foreign underling asks questions?
