Myself, Yourself, Himself — Reflexive Pronouns

Update: 2020-12-08

Description

Want to use "myself" and other reflexive pronouns in a way that even sticklers can't criticize? Avoid any usage where "myself" could be replaced with "me." So:

Not great: He spoke with John and myself.

Good: He spoke with John and me.

Here's the whole story.
