Hello again.  Back with more questions about my grammar course for
lawyers and legal support professionals.
 
Thanks to everyone for the tips, especially the ones suggesting  I have
lawyers read "real" writing to try to catch mistakes and misuses.
 
Simple question of mechanics (or is it convention?):  Is it still incorrect to
use a reflexive pronoun as a direct object ("Please call Joe or myself.")
or as the object of a preposition ("This material was prepared by Yogi
Bear, Al Gore, and myself.")?
 
This drives me insane; it seems to be the work of people trying to sound
more intellectual than they are and failing miserably.  However, I've read
in various sources that  it's becoming accepted.
 
Say it ain't (oops, there I go) so!
