AikiDale Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Myself would like to take this opportunity to rant about the use of myself. It seems to myself too many people these days use myself when one of the other personal pronouns would be more appropriate. If you agree or disagree with myself about this myself would appreciate hearing from yourself about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I, myself, feel that given myself the chance, I would not use it myself. But by myself, I, myself, will tend to use myself in refernce to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMITH Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Myself? I generally don't discuss things like the use of myself and the context in which myself is used to describe said use of myself with myself, he is an asshat...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiDale Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 I, NOT myself, am shaking my, NOT myself's, head in utter amazement at this thread!!! And well you should! As a pro public speaker I would expect nothing less. But let me tell you, I shake my head in utter amazement when I hear radio and TV folks on air who require remedial public speaking and grammar courses; it is bad enough when it is the subject of the interview, but that's just me.

Miranda Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 in case you did not know it All leaders of State refer to themselves in as third a person as possible. Yourself, Mr. President Alkidale, must learn to shy away from 'myself', as entirely too first person, and use 'Himself" try again. like this if you please... Himself would like to take this opportunity to rant about the use of himself. It seems to himself too many himselves these days use himself when one of the other personal pronouns would be more appropriate.

G-ManBart Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 allow myself to introduce...... myself. A famous Austin Powers quote if there ever was one. For myself, I avoid using the word myself and stick with "me" unless I'm in front of a camera with a noisy crowd cheering for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 in case you did not know itAll leaders of State refer to themselves in as third a person as possible. miranda I appreciate you looking out for my campaign Miranda. But please be advised when I am elected President I will not refer to myself in the third person nor in the plural. There is a whole new day of just plain common sense on the way. I suspect with four years to practice I can get from C to GM and shoot all the Nationals. Oh, by the way, just in case anyone thinks I intend to abuse my office please understand I will purchase my ammunition from my salary and not use the taxpayers money (other than my salary of course) just because I could. Now enough of this thread drift, I hate writing about myself. (How's that for a segway Z?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd rather drive if I have to pay for it. Might have to spring for RV One.
