| Jun 7, 2012 at 4:17 | comment | added | Julia | Hmm..I think "you" sounds more straightforward, and "yourself" sounds like the speaker is trying to be fancy. I get annoyed at the overuse of "self". For example, I often hear sentences such as: "The man gave apples to Ann and myself." Why not just say "me"? | |
