i must admit that i do this. not in conversation but in correspondence, and never "myself", just "yourself"
i always thought it was a northern thing.

If being Northern is wrong I don't ever want to be right.

it's not used like that, you muppet
it would be more like, when writing to a manager after a telecon with her gimp: "following this conversation with yourselves, my client acted in reliance upon it to its detriment. this is a clear cut case of estoppel and if you bend over i will fuck you sideways."

that's still the same and still wrong
the word is "you"

it just isn't the same
i can't explain it, you southern shandy-drinking poofs have no idea!

I cannot side with using 'yourself'
