"If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask John or myself." I had a secretary once who insisted on transcribing my dictation this way. For example, "Thank you for taking the time to meet with Ms. Smith and me" came back as "... and myself." It was a double whammy for her, because even if I'd someday succeeded in convincing her that 'myself' was incorrect (which never happened), she'd have reluctantly agreed to transcribe "Thank you for taking the time to meet with Ms. Smith and I." Yeeeaaarrrghhh!
