Like K-da, B-Sh has just a very vague conculture
flavoured heavily by my own personality.  I would
think Beddel-shaedhem (which translates to "folk
tongue") would be spoken by people who would reserve a
separate pronoun for God--and I think it would be a
neat idea.

Universal 1st pers: Things like "We are a race prone
to hubris", "We don't use salad forks for meat", like
that.  The least common of the universals.

Universal 2nd pers: "This is how you get to the store,
put together a bike, et al."--when the audience
*could* be bigger than the one you're addressing,
because anyone in that situation would be given the
same message.  Also used for imperatives in situations
like signs.

Universal 3rd pers: For everything from proverbs to
gossip to the weather to conspiracy theories--the way
we might use "they say that..." in English.

Hope that clears things up.
