Replying to posts just to point out incorrect grammar (and to give yourself a smug sense of satisfaction) probably makes you look like the bigger dickhead.

I don't need to do that to have a smug sense of satisfaction, ask anyone
and saying myself or yourself or whatever really does make you look like a dickhead. I work in an office full of people who do it.

just trying to help. mate.

that'd still be wrong and annoying
myself is for things like "I'll do it myself" or for when you are the object of the sentence.

I'd probably bother to post an actual response to the question in the first place. ;)

Would make an interesting challenge
...write a story about yourself in the third person. The more embarrassing, the better....
