I hate myself

Wed May 6, 2009, 12:46 PM
Let me restate that: I hate the word "myself," and I hate the way so many people here misuse it. It's reflexive, goddamn it!

Every day, I see variations of the following in image descriptions.

"Myself"
"Myself and a friend"
"A friend and myself"

WRONG!

It's "me" folks.

The only time myself isn't reflexive is when it's used to accentuate, as in "I, myself, never touch the stuff."

Otherwise it's reflexive, meaning the subject is the same as the object, as in "I f**ked myself," or "go f**k yourself" (which is no doubt what many of you are thinking right now).

So please, if you care to to look educated, label the pictures of you with the word "me."

In the meanwhile, I'll refrain from correcting all those who mistakenly use the word "I." :/
