Penni, do you find writing sometimes in conflict with just saying things the way you would verbally? I often struggle with this, and would like to know how you so easily overcome it. Mike

Penni, Your given example of this use of "myself" is probably the best worst use in common use. Any day now, I expect "myself" to move up the ranks and be used as the actual subject of a sentence. Liable and likely? I'm sitting here trying to think of a situation, other than a crossword puzzle, in which these words could be interchangeable. Alexa? Are you lurking?
