First person singular
I, myself Tommy that's me
...and my daughter ones-self
Tommy is thinking:
why do posters refer to themselves
in the third person?
I have tried to,
so has he himself.
He has no objection,
But I, myself have an objection to them-there preposterous constructions absolutely!
When speaking in the third person
he finds one asking him:
why?
Can two people converse
in the third person?
Tommy finds it difficult to
quote directly from a third person's
point of view
while speaking to the third person
themselves.
(or is it your imagination that we find ones mind co-joining).
We wonder if one's first-person
obligates the second-persons
directly attributed pro-noun.
I myself think that we should
avoid all confusion in such matters
by using the first-person
when writing or speaking to the reader or listener,
as one will find that he or she wonders
if they or themselves are also confused.
Or confusing.
Yours,
(or is it oneself)
Tommy Carroll
himself.

Very well put Tommy. I couldn't agree more. Such nonsense. A bit like certain people referring to themselves as one .
Nice one mate
