    • I → (the) speaker/writer
    • you → (the) listener/reader, pl. (the) audience
    • they → that person, pl. those people

    The writer believes that such an idea is quite stupid. In fact, the writer believes that the audience will find this language extremely obtuse. These methods will only cause more pain to the federal employees in question.

      I think we need a tool that automatically rewrites text to remove all pronouns, but I’m not even sure that is possible.
