unless you are saying something like "by myself"
"your creative team and I" or even "me and your creative team" are better. otherwise you sound like a dick, regardless of how common it is for people to say that these days.

"your creative team and I" and "me and your creative team" are both grammatically incorrect.
*tuts*

my dislike of that sort of thing was clouding my judgement

I'd rather be thought of a simpleton with no grasp of basic English that a colossal shirter who says 'myself'.

actually makes you look like someone who is trying to be posh, but doesn't understand it. A Mrs Bucket/Bouquet type person

worse than myself however is saying yourselves. some of the gargantuan arse-bandits in my office tend to do that.

Now officially part of the monders lexicon of ace phrases. I recently added dicksplash from a post on here, too. Marvellous.

Anything with "me" is incorrect in this context, too, since the subject of the sentence is in the first person; hence the pronoun should be nomonative.

I'm a scientist and not a linguist, but I had thought that because the 'creative team and Pete' was the object of the sentence he would refer to himself as 'me'.

"The creative team and I thought that this would be a worthwhile project."
"He entrusted the project to the creative team and me."
I was just correcting the "correction".

it should be "I understand that there's going to be some interaction between your creative team and me..."
Or would the original "I understand that there's going to be some interaction between myself and your creative team..." be OK, because it's self-referential?
My leaning is towards the former.
