| Nov 6, 2013 at 19:19 | comment | added | John Lawler | Let's just say that any appropriate context for You killed yourself involves some unusual presuppositions. The general rule is the norm, all right, but notice that the definition of what's an "object" is a little vague. | |

| Nov 6, 2013 at 17:17 | comment | added | Cyrille Ka | Is it? I wanted to include a non-prepositional example, to sustain my following remark on object being reflexive. | |
| Nov 6, 2013 at 17:13 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | 'You killed yourself' is probably off-topic, Cyrille! | |
