I know this is a fairly inane subject but there is something that I often read in books, on the web and hear during conversations. That is "I myself would never..." or "We ourselves are quite are also pleased that..."
Do you think grammatically speaking that using two words in the same sentence to speak about one person, or persons is okay. I ask you this because I am not completely sure I fully understand all the rules relating to proper grammar. Perhaps this is just a figure of speech that has crept into our everyday vocabulary. Who knows, I myself probably use it all the time without realising it.
What are your opinions?
One of my main reasons for bringing this up is so that I can have a clearer understanding of where I stand should I wish to highlight this (what I assume) to be an error when I am commenting on someone's post. I would hate to give out erroneous advice.
