	Maple  +  244501 Tue, 11 Jul 06 06:52 AM It's rather bizarre to see "Judy and myself watched the game" as a general declarative sentence. But if there's a preceding question like this: "Did Judy and your brother watched the game last night?", then should it be ok to answer with "No, Judy and myself watched the game"? Thank you.

	Pastsimple  +  244553 Tue, 11 Jul 06 10:04 AM I don't want to be labeled a prescriptivist but Judy and myself watched the game. is wrong. Judy and myself is the subject of the sentence and the subject form of I is I. If in doubt, remove the other person(s) (Judy in this case) from the sentence: Would you say that "Myself watched the game" is correct? However, in colloquial speech, you can often hear "Judy and me watched the game". I myself use it frequently.

	Grammar Geek  +  244616 Tue, 11 Jul 06 03:14 PM Please, PLEASE, I beg of you: Use only "Judy and I" when you are the subject. Myself is absurd and me is just awful grammar. I know you do hear it. Please don't add yourself to the numbers of people who misues this poor word. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,665 Barbara, who answers in American English.
