And I wonder if we should always write comments in first person...
That reminds me of something. When I first learned Smalltalk with VisualWorks, one of the things that really struck me was that all of the comments did seem to be in the first person. Methods would read something like "I answer xyz" and class comments would begin with "I am ...". First person comments might help clue people in to thinking about objects in the first person.
