English clusive plural pronouns
These aim to address the lack of clear clusivity in standard English.Clusivity can be specified with extra clarifying words, but it can be awkward and slow.Words that clearly specify clusitivy by default don't require that.TL;DR, it's "we/us/our", but less ambiguous.
