The impersonal pronoun

One finds that one is much more likely to come across the impersonal pronoun on the Downs. In real life, one fears that use of the aforementioned pronoun could result in ostracisation due to a general belief that one is either pretentious or in some way connected to the Royalty, both traits that are likely to make one quite unpopular.

But seriously, it's oddly nice to use formal language and see it so commonly in use.

Yes, maybe I am nuts. Who cares?
