And apparently "cannot" isn't a single word anymore
I’m fairly certain both ways are acceptable.

Myself and one of my Senior Trial Attorneys have reviewed the evidence extensively and concur on all points.

If he were referring to Assistant DA Barnaby Jones “Bubba” Myself, this would be correct usage.

You do understand that this is how people over 40 were taught in typing classes all over America going back to the invention of type? I think you're stretching to find something here.

You forgot about “Myself and one of my Senior Trial Attorneys.”

Your own name always goes last.

I’m 38 and been doing double spaces my whole life. Every time I read my assistant’s emails (whom is about 10 years younger, no pix) I thought she was a retard because everything was single spaced.

Come to find out single spacing is the new thing.

Ok, boomer. Photostat a copy and fax it over to us so we can read it. You can listen to a cassette with your Walkman while you wait for our response. We’ll call your beeper so you can find a payphone and give a call back when we’re ready to talk.

Also WTF kink of a sentence



If you’re going to bash writing skills, start with your own
here is where so many of you are ignorant. The op made a typo on an internet forum which requires informal language (so it's no big deal). The DA's paperwork demands a level of formal, standard use of language. think you can handle that, celery?
