The other two seem technically grammatically correct, but could still be bad style; I have failed to think of any situation that justifies the intensification in "Turn the form in to me myself", and whether the last example is really OK would depend on context. | |

| Jul 7, 2016 at 21:33 | comment | added | Pierce Darragh | This is interesting to me, as I had always been taught that (from a prescriptivist perspective) it was grammatically incorrect to use this construction. So does "I myself" become a complex noun phrase then? | |
