Suggestion for English

[LucaMs]

I just wrote in a post:

"I guess I can exclude the option..."

Is there a normal (or elegant) way to avoid the repetition of the subject?


Note: I know, this is not B4x

 

[sorex]

you mean the repetition of the "I" 'word' ?

I could exclude ...
I might exclude ...

is that what you're after?

 

[LucaMs]

Yes, too many "I"s

 

[KMatle]

"The option can be excluded".

Just talk/write about the subject. Only use I, you, etc. when it is important to the subject. F.e. "I will check if the option can be excluded" or "Paul will check if..."

 

[nwhitfield]

If you're feeling posh (or just from the Home Counties), "One supposes that the option may be excluded"

 

[LucaMs]

That was just an example.

In Italian, it could be:

"Io immagino di poter escludere l'opzione..." - Google Translate: "I guess I can rule out the option"
or
"Io suppongo di..." - Google Translate: same.

Io suppongo = I suppose
