You meant “he meant to say first person”

A singular use of language.

Oui.

It means "we" (Indicative Case), but could also mean "us" (Accusative Case) of the First-Person Plural.

Like Evgenyi Zamyatin's eerily prescient novel about the denial of individuality, "We."

Regards,

“did I say third person?”

Yes. First person plural. But there’s no circumflex û as far as I remember.
