Me, Me, Me!

Tag: Grammar, LanguagePatrick @ 4:02 pm

For the benefit of those of us who haven’t quite decided to give up on the English language and stubbornly cling to the rules of grammar:

Please forget that you ever heard the word myself.
Do not use it. Ever. (Unless you review a grammar guide first.)

Otherwise, you’re using it incorrectly. I promise.

If I see one more photo caption somewhere that is labeled along the lines of “Jane and myself,” instead of “Jane and me,” I might have to go ballistic.

It’s one of those words, unfortunately, that many use to make themselves sound like they know more than they actually do. (Just like the way film students use the word juxtaposition at every possible turn while only about 4% actually understand what it means.)
