The use of "Myself"

[BupcakesandCunting]

Just catching up with The Apprentice. Are they paid each time they say "myself" where "me" would do? It's driving me berserk! "That was myself Lord Sugar" "That was myself and Dave" "That was down to myself"

Librarian, who says that? Given that so many kids are taught "Don't say what, say pardon" and that saying "What" is rude?

A lot of people say "Sorry?" if they haven't heard something.

Weary rhymes with cheery. Wary is pronounced Ware-y.

justmature - you sound a bit like me. I had a similar argument about the use of momentarily as a synonym for 'in a moment'. It drives me mad when you get announcements saying things like 'the plane will board momentarily'.

Alternate is, IMO, an Americanism and I can't stand (even though it is becoming quite accepted) it being used where alternative would fit. Alternate, to me, has its own distinct meaning and there is no need to muddle them together.

Alternate is a verb, alternative is an adjective, surely?
