> I've never met anyone that speaks about themselves exclusively in third person in any walk of life.

My 2.5 year old daughter does this. I suspect she'll grow out of it at some point before she gets a job, though.



Indeed, pronouns are a pretty challenging skill for toddlers. Similarly, for their sake, you will often refer to yourself in third person as well, saying Daddy or Mommy rather than I or me.
