El uso de "al lector de usted/tú"
2
votes
Context: Now that I know "tratar" can be used, though possibly awkward (gracias, Gringojrf), my next question is concerning the use of "de usted/tú".
Puedes tratar al lector de usted/tú.....
You can address the reader....
Question:
Is the use of de usted//tú for emphasis?
Can "the reader", in general, be "el lector"?
Gracias

I have never heard any one ending with tú I think because of the verb form is for tú. However, the verb form for usted is also used for him/her and it so ending with usted clarifies.
Puedes tratar al lector.
Puede tratar al lector, usted.
Maybe someone else has a better answer.

Thank Andre, ¨clarifies¨ is why I think it was used. - bandit51jd, Feb 11, 2014
