Arrghhhh! PLEEEEAAAASE no more using this 'myself' when you mean 'me' or 'I'

This is not a dig at genetically poor spellers or mangled grammar, but this 'creep' of usage - it's getting everywhere. I had a memo from my manager last month asking 'send your answers back to myself ASAP' how ludicrous is that?

I am going with a friend, or a friend and I, not, for the love of God, Myself and a friend are going. My eyes are watering ! Resist this gruesome expression!Please!
