Of course "yourself/myself", but also...
'Criminality' / 'Criminalities' when the speaker means 'Crime/Crimes'. I heard a Police spokesman on the radio stating that people were "committing criminalities". (made me want to, I can tell you).

burglarize
is a word straight from hell. When I rule the world it will be banned.

What's next? replace burgler with burglarizerer?

Burglarize/burglarise
is actually the original word! Burgle is a bastardisation.
