Admittedly, it's trivial. Still, it's slightly irksome to hear or read sentences like these:
- If you have any questions, ask John, Mary, or myself.
- John, Mary, and myself will attend the conference.
Just once, I'd like to hear anyone who speaks or writes that way to walk into a room and announce, deliberately incorrectly, "Myself am here!"
The proper phrasing:
- If you have any questions, ask John, Mary, or me.
- John, Mary, and I will attend the conference.
There. The earth may now resume spinning on its axis.
