Thanks Joseph, I read that too. But did he say if he talks like that too? It’s not so clear. Whatever, if his wife and friends don’t mind, it’s fine with me.
Jent, this one’s for you: Mir heard a shiur recently by Rabbi Ephrayim Wachsman, shlit”a, where he decried the tendency towards “Anochius” in todays generation. He said (and mir doesn’t know if this is fact) that the single most commonly used word in all languages is the word “I” He also mentioned that we have made our “anochius” into a form of avoda zara, because Hashem said “anochi Hashem elokecha”, so if you think you are also anochi, then you are saying Hashem is not your only G-d, c”v.
This concept fits in well with your message, mir thinks, does it not? 🙂
