Pedantry

Aaaaaaaargh!

This rant has been brewing for a while. I can no longer put up with the gross misuse of thw word 'myself' without saying something.

Sarah and myself are going to the cinema tonight.
Myself and Sam got really drunk.
Could James please contact myself.
If you took a photo of me, please provide a copy to myself.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Corrections of the above (real, if slightly paraphrased) examples:

Sarah and I are going to the cinema tonight.
Sam and I got really drunk.
Could James please contact me?
If you took a photo of me, please provide me with a copy.

Correct uses of 'myself'.

I'm all by myself, alone in the house.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
He's on holiday in Canada. I went there myself last year.
I made myself a new skirt.

Here's a brief outline of the problem.
