Prince Harry visited Washington yesterday to launch the 2016 Invictus Games for wounded veterans, being held in the U.S. for first time. Prince Ginger received warm support from President Obama -- who met him for first time and said: "He has gotten to know Michelle very well, for a range of reasons, but in particular, he’s here to talk about the Invictus Games, an initiative that is bringing together wounded warriors around the world, under the leadership of Prince Harry and others, to make sure that we see not simply the sacrifices they’ve made, but also the incredible contributions, strength and courage they continue to display. 'And so we are very glad to support the Invictus Games. Michelle and myself are interested in promoting it."
Hi, Kenneth. I'm sure you will know the answer to this. I've read and heard a lot of people use the word "myself" where I would have thought "I" or "me" would have been more natural, if not correct. What's the proper usage? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this post and was horrified to see POTUS misuse the reflexive pronoun "myself." Like nails on a chalkboard. Himself can't use the reflexive pronoun "myself" unless himself also uses "I" or "me" in the same sentence. Himself is totally fucking wrong on this. I would have thought that himself was better educated than this. I am so disappointed in himself.
