I have noticed many people wrote their pink questions in first person. Why?
The question is: Julius Caesar: Delightful Dictator or Terrible Tyrant?
No where in that question do I indicate that I want a personal opinion--
it should be written in third person. Please review your work.
I'll be printing your work later this afternoon.
If you submitted the incorrect format, please correct and resubmit.
