Myself is a reflexive pronoun.
It is used to reflect back to the subject of a sentence. For example, in the sentence “I gave myself the day off“, “myself” reflects back to the subject “I”. On the other hand, in a sentence like “Joe, Bill, Jim and myself went to the game last night“, “myself” has nothing to which it can reflect. In sentences like this it is better to use either “I” or “me” (in this specific case, it would be “I”).
There seems to be a tendency for people to use “myself” incorrectly (particularly among bloggers). I do not know why. Maybe they think it sound less presumptuous than using “I” or “me” or that it sounds more intellectual. Unfortunately, it only sounds lazy and awkward.
I suggest to you that, amongst bloggers, using proper grammar is considered snooty and pretentious. In fact, this opinion is shielding the fact that they may be embarrassed about either their ignorance of grammar or laziness to think about what they are writing before they commit their words to paper (or ).
I agree, Jules.
Which reminds me of Me, myself and I.
