Myself, Yourself

[dirtychinchilla]

Would you kindly go **** yourself?

It's me and you.

An example, for context:

A sincere thanks from myself for registering your interest in solar!

We are still booking in installs for the sunny months, so if you’d like to make the most of your new system, get a call in with myself now and we can get the ball rolling!

Edit: happened to see this on Reddit by someone much better informed than me:

Were you asked “Please be doing the necessary” At any point?

 

[Ayahuasca]

Oh, absolutely! I’ll pencil that right in between rearranging my sock drawer and counting grains of sand on the beach. Your priorities are my top concern, after all. Cheers to teamwork!

No medical threads

Not sure what the OP is trying to raise, is it the bad use of grammar?

Yes. It's estate agent speak. Something to make them sound more important. Instead, they sound stupid.

Ah ok, when you reply send the corrected version and say something like "fixed that for you!!"

Please use a different company.

This kind of blue sky thinking is really what we should be rioting about.

I thought this was going to be your weird pronoun thread

 

[drakulton]

Bring back thyself!

Would you kindly

That reminds me, I should probably play Bioshock Remastered.

Do the Needful.

There's a similar phenomenon with people who use 'shall' instead of 'will' when it just isn't fitting.

 

[ttaskmaster]

The only advice I have for yourself is for yourself to 'do the needful and revert back' to himself, explaining that yourself is interested in himself's proposal, and ask if himself shall send yourself more detailed information on himself's installation. Maybe himself could send yourself a pricing schedule and some of himself's installation procedures?
Include the wife, as herself would love to know what himself's benefits would be to herself's home with solar.

If yourself thinks himself really needs a good linguistic curb-stomping, to get the point through himself's thick skull, put every improper use of the terms in bold, italic and underline.
Then **** off and buy it from himself's closest competitor. I'm sure themselves would appreciate it more than himself appreciates proper grammar!!

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

Do the Needful.

Early 2000s memory of offshore IT unlocked.

For myself.

For my part thou shalt ever be thyself. The rest I dost leave to the wiser sickles of the profound fessors of fessionaliwoo.

This is a native. I hear this **** all the time at work as well

revert back

I absolutely hate this phrase. 'Revert' literally means 'go / come back to' so it's like saying, "I'll come back to you back" or something like that.

It seems the more recent use of 'revert' to mean 'reply' originates from India. I don't know why we can't just say reply, that word already exists.
