John should have written "You might be able to find someone more qualified than me." or "You might be able to find someone more qualified than I am."http://www.englishforums.com/English/MyselfMeThankYou/vgkvv/post.htm#366576Fri, 22 May 2009 10:49:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:366576Peaceblinkfriend2http://www.englishforums.com/English/MyselfMeThankYou/vgkvv/post.htm#366576http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-366576.xmlThank you Grammer Geek and Bokeh. Actually this is the context. John told Kiff that he might be able to find someone who knows more that himself on evolution in another forum. John wrote : " You might be able to find someone more qualified than myself ." So the 'myself' was referring to John while the 'you' was to Kiff. So in this case , is it correct to say "You might be able to find someone more qualified than me" ? Should I use 'me' or 'myself' in this case? Thank you very much again.

Myself/yourself/etc are reflexive pronouns and should only be used when the subject and object of the verb are one and the same. " She washed herself... " " He put himself forward as an expert...

Only I can find someone more qualified than myself. Use either "than me" or "than I am." Purists may tell you that the latter is the correct choice, but you'll certainly hear the former.http://www.englishforums.com/English/MyselfMeThankYou/vgkvv/post.htmSun, 22 Feb 2009 11:49:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:366524Peaceblinkfriend5http://www.englishforums.com/English/MyselfMeThankYou/vgkvv/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-366524.xmlHi all Which of these is correct ? a) You would find someone more qualified than myself. b) You would find someone more qualified than me.
