B2 point 90 in the category of PRONOUNS / generic is defined as:
‘we’ and ‘us’ to refer to people in general.
This is a point that requires manual searching in the corpora for the ‘usage’ definition to be met. A search for we|us in iWeb is not possible because they are such common words. The complexity checker cannot do anything with this point either.
PELIC contains 25,000+ instances of either of them. There are many examples in the first 200 hundred texts that meet the usage criteria for B2 complexity with ‘we’ in the general sense, but only two examples of ‘us’. Here are a few examples:
