Haha fair enough! And thanks for pointing out that it's actually been propagated by school teachers sometimes. I definitely deserve to be corrected publicly on the "us English speakers" thing. I could try to defend myself on the basis that I was deliberately affecting a more popular mode of speaking at that point, at the expense of correctness, but the truth is I've never said or written "we X doers". I'll bear it in mind for the future!
