I've noticed lately when I'm reading a review of a build, or a how-to, or whatever, that the writer, who is also invariably the builder, uses entirely too much 3rd person tense. Like:
"The windshield was dipped in Future and then secured in place with CA...."
"Pastels were used to fade the paint and give a dusty appearance...."
"Some flat and half-round stock was used to fabricate the seats...."
What is the deal with this? Can't you simply say, " I used such-and-such for the cockpit glass...." or "I wanted to use the Aeroscale decals but ended up printing my own." Am I the only one that finds the 3rd person tone used annoying and a little snobbish?
