[QUOTE 4993854, member: 45"]Using it instead of "me".

"George came with myself to the shop"

"If you have any questions please contact myself"

Just no. Stop it. You're trying to sound clever but having the opposite effect.[/QUOTE]

Anyone doing so is clearly wedded to a modernist notion of the self as a given entity, neatly defined and entailed by its own "selfness."

A favourite with cretinous cold callers. As you say, grrrr!

I myself feel the same way.

I myself find myself agreeing with @Drago

 

[Markymark]

I agree with yourself.

 

[petek]

I agree with yourself.

Shouldn't that be
"Me agree with yourself."

 

[Markymark]

Agree with yourself, I do.

 

[petek]

Agree with yourself, I do.

You cannot.
The postmodern person is a hybrid. They have, not one core, permanent self, but many selves. Their self—and their identity—are not fixed, but continually in process, as the boundaries between themselves and others, and between the different parts of themselves are negotiated.
Call I - 'them' please.

Myself is going to use myself a lot more....bollocks to grammar

"I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said.
"Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' "
"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."

This represents a move from structuralism to deconstruction, with the signifier and signified now being disconnected. In fact, in this situation, we can say that the signifier is “empty” or “floating.” As for Humpty Dumpty, Jacques Lacan described him as “the master of the signifier,” which, let’s face it, is pretty high praise for someone who looks like an egg—no matter how good and handsome a shape that egg may be.

As opposed that ridiculous pink flannel selfie thing that you wore at the last CC get together in Cambridge.

I slipped into that in the hotel room afterwards and only the top 90% attractive people from the day were invited...so how do you know???
