Sadly it has become an epidemic of late for folks to misuse the word,
"myself." I think it comes from people not wanting to sound
presumptuous when referring to themselves. It drives me crazy to hear
so many people say something like, "this research was done by myself and
my colleague Bob." No, this research was done by my colleague Bob and I.
"by my colleague Bob and *me*". If you're going to gripe about word usage
(not grammar, since "myself" is grammatically correct), at least correct it
correctly.
