It sells in old westerns at least.

Do you mean "Me..."? One could introduce oneself after several others by saying "Me, I am so-and-so" (like in French "Moi, je m'appelle..."), but I don't think "Myself" can be used in the same way.

If I'm joinging a group in a personal social context - party, beach, BBQ - I'll simply say, "Hi, I'm belMarduk" In a conference, when addressing a panelist, I say Good day, state my name, my company and then ask my question. When chairing a conference, I've said, "Good day, my name is ..." and "Good day, I am..." depending on what was appropriate. Note: "Good day" looks kinda hoity-toity when I write it in English but it is a very common salute in French "bonjour" Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: How to introduce oneself... #160379 06/16/2006 12:44 AM Joined: May 2002 Posts: 1,529 Aladamnbama the most watered s... themilum veteran themilum veteran Joined: May 2002 Posts: 1,529 Aladamnbama the most watered s... Hey tuhin! What kind of a crazy name is "tuhin"? Me? I'm "themilum". Some people believe that I know more about the nature of language than anyone in the entire southeastern United States. Maybeso. But 'til yet I've never met anyone on the Net or in books or anyone living in the entire English speaking world who understands the essence of verbal human communication as essentially as I do. As you might guess, I'm lonely.

This seemingly crazy name is actually a Sanskrit word meaning "a dew drop". The broader meaning is probably "as cool as dew ". Hope now the meaning of the name is clear Tuhin Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: How to introduce oneself... #160381 06/16/2006 3:39 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York Quote: Some people believe that I know more about the nature of language than anyone in the entire southeastern United States.
