Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Friday, 28 March 2008
I received an email yesterday that started like this:
Myself and a group of students at [unnamed university]…
And that was as far as I got.
No, I am not kidding.
I really couldn’t read past that GLARING error. Who should be the one to inform the parents of this co-ed that they are wasting their money??
I fear that it is a lost cause and I am doomed to a long life (kinna hura!) of cringing each and every time someone misuses the reflexive ‘myself.’
Here is a tip: only when one is looking in a mirror should the word ‘myself’ be employed. Otherwise it is a safe bet that it is wrong!
Frume Sarah is Shabbos-observant -- in a Reform way, that is. Please note that from Friday afternoons until one hour after sundown on Saturday evenings, Frume Sarah will be unavailable, in observance of the Jewish Sabbath.
Comments made during this time will be held in a queue, to be moderated afterwards.
Thank you for your understanding...and gut Shabbos!!!

Well, it can also be used as emphasis, but it should be preceded by “I” and used both judiciously and sparingly. These aren’t grammatical rules, they are pep-rules.
Known as the intensive form.
