Yeah she actually means the Pluralism Benevolentiae. E.g. when a nurse is saying "We go to the toilet now, aren't we?" but it actually means "You must go to the toilet but I will be there with you".

There is also the Pluralis inclusivus like in scientific texts. Which I personally find really weird.

My team and I have come to the conclusion that we don’t like you for finding the pluralis inclusivus weird.

Does that term come from linguistics? I'd like to learn more about it
