Incorrect reflexives bother me almost as much as they seem to bother Terry. The American version that gets to me is
"Send a reply to Terry or myself if it bothers you too"
and numerous equivalents.
>>Use of these is getting worse. Some examples, not from real life, but typical of what I've experienced/heard a lot lately:
>>
>>"Hi Mr McDonnell. I was wondering if our offer has reached yourself yet."
>>"Could you manage to make payment to ourselves by the end of the week."
>>"We're sending the order to yourselves direct."
>>"There's just myself and yourself here."
