inclusive/exclusive

Back when I was teaching Dakota, I always taught the students "Dual" and 
"Plural". That way you don't have to worry about who to include or exclude 
:-) 

Seriously though, I never heard these terms before, so if I were to make a 
guess, I'd say the one being included or excluded would be "you" because 
the "Plural" form can mean WE with or without you. Or maybe the one(s) 
being included or excluded is/are she, he and they, hmm... This is why I 
stick to "Dual" and "Plural".
