In English, when purchasing on behalf of a corporation, “we” would almost always be used.

“we” is even frequently employed by auctors writing papers to depersonalize.

I guess it’s just me then. I wouldn’t write “we” in a comment online without explaining who “we” is, it seems like an unnecessary detail to explain

That’s how I meant it. Seems odd to say “we” out of context like that. And anyway I would be the person purchasing so including the whole company is.. odd.

Anyway, I guess this is the pedantry we (!) should expect from HN
