Quote: Merkan
You're going to give grammar lessons? 
Do you have any examples. If so, can you share them with myself? 
I've never heard Americans talk the way you are suggesting. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Must be a Southern thing... I can't recall myself ever hearing that up here.... myself...
Actually, sometimes people say "Talk to [these other people] or myself"... It's how they try to sound sophisticated. Unsuccessfully, I might add.

That ain't no Southern thing either.

No, I've heard it in England too.

It's creeping into the UK, too.

I, myself, am not sure, but myself am Merkan and it makes me laugh to hear someoneself refer to themselves as themselves. Usually a simple "me" or "us" would do, but I, myself, hypothesize that the uneducated think using a longer word makes themselves appear to be more sophisticated than themselves actually are.
I, myself, suspect that the custom of using a reflexive grammatical construct was imported from other languages where such constructs are normal.

Sheltered? You mean you have a lean-to rather than living out in the fields?

You were wearing a fluffy white jumper in a field?
Careful Griff that sounds like entrapment or at least provication

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to calculate that 12,240 calories (12 oz. x 1,020 cal./oz.) are extracted from the body in the process of drinking a can of beer."

I think Nagy is now quietly working out if this calculation could work on Gin also

The beauty of the gin diet is that in as little as a week you can lose several days.
