:P Perhaps 'verified' was a strong word to use. Anyway, from what I've been reading, it seems that referring to one's self is more common among females. ...But you say that it's just as common among guys? I guess it just depends on the people....But now I'm curious as to why people say it's feminine. Would it be something like when girls try to talk in a 'cute' voice? Saying "Hewwo", etc.?
I Didn't mean to upset anybody or sound like "We've got the final say! Aha-Proof is in the puddin'!"
Just one more thing...Might this be relevant at all concerning your geography and friends?
