Q Talk

Last night presenting what a wonderful presentation. Even the representative did a great job professional and informative. Thank you.

I like Alberti, but he should quit saying "we" when he is presenting items meant for woman only.

He says, we like the organization in this bag, or we would enjoy carrying this bag everyday.  He does the same thing when he presents clothing.

He probably mimics the female hosts, but he should be aware that he is not " we" when presenting ladies fashion.

I know...kinda picky, but it drives me crazy.

@Carmie   I’m not shocked at all. Many hosts and vendors call items of clothing, bags and shoes “she”.

[this is my nic]

One of the handbags was black, and named "noir", which is black in French.  It is pronounced nwar.  I've heard several hosts prounce it new-ar.

Alberti saying "we" doesn't bother me.  Actually he does reference some items he uses.  The one that bothers me is when the hosts refer to "my show", "my idea", "My (name the item), etc.  I've always thought it would be nicer to refer to it as "our gift show", "our suggested items", etc. which would give the credit to all of QVC.  No biggie, though but seems more polite to give credit to all who worked on the show, the items, the programming.

@Daysdee  It doesn't bother me when he says "we" for a product he uses or could use, but I don't think he carries a lady's handbag or wears ladies pants, sweaters or shoes.

When he says "we love this shoe for it's fashion and comfort, or this pant makes us look fashionable and is comfortable...I start yelling at the TV.

He is not a "we" as in the female gender.

That WE, is a new reference they use, when you are selling something or yourself. My son is in business for himself and he started using( we) when he was talking about his business. I asked him if he hired someone and he said no and just smiled and then explained. I think it's misleading and maybe even dishonest, but that's just the baby boomer in me and my son is a millennial. So it has nothing to do with gender.
