I have volunteered to be the benchmark only. If it turns out I am the biggest somebody of them all, when measured by that benchmark, I will just accept it, objectively.

Somebodies are always bragging about themselves. How else do you think they got to be a somebody. 😉 I mean, just look at FMF. He's always bragging about his accomplishments.

I offer myself as the aforementioned "benchmark" objectively and selflessly. Someone had to do it. I'm doing it FOR the others, regardless of any personal cost to me.

It's all in how you pronounce the word, isn't it? Somebody means something entirely different from somebody.

Adding the definite article can help reflect the facts on the ground too.

Ok. You be the Somebody.

And for the sake of balance I'll be the Nobody.
