Hey I like Tolkien too but if you start your post or article with "A most ______", "Concerning _______", or "Of _______", you're a huge dork and you deserve an atomic wedgie.

Swedish doesn't have that. It is more that indefinite pronouns like "man" or "en" are commonly used in places where it is technically correct to use "one" in English, but in English it sounds like you're from a Jane Austen novel. The only English people who refer to themselves as "one" or use "one" in such a way are either true bluebloods or taking the piss. It is fun to see my extended English working class family do a double take whenever she uses it.
