I am dying a little bit inside everytime somebody writing on here or speaking on tv or even in business emails says 'she came over to talk to myself and my partner' or 'please email myself' or soooo many other examples.
What has become wrong with the word 'me'? Why does it seem that the whole world is slowly moving over to using myself instead of me?
I am not usually very pedantic about language, it evolves, fair enough, and my own spelling and grammar can be dodgy when typing quickly in an informal situation but this one for some reason really gets me - myself is longer to write than me!
