I think I just signed up as a paid subscriber because I have been reading your stuff here, there and everywhere. And I can't remember a single statement I disagreed with. And, TC, your brain harbors more information than an IBM super computer. You are the Wiki of wisdom.
Take my money. You deserve it.
You have my admiration.

You have my admiration.
Have you ever presented your thoughts on YouTube? If not, and you are camera shy, I think someone might volunteer to read your missives. Who me?
Don't stop now, brother. You are on an amazing roll....
Thank you very much. I have to admit I have no knowledge about YouTube, so if anyone does have some, or know someone who does, let me know. I am capable of zooming under instruction. :-)
YouTube is essentially Hollywood or MTV or short subjects in a theater back when we went to such things. Anything you have an interest in is there. ANYTHING. How to assemble a Weber grill? How to fix a toilet? How to plant tomatoes? How to explain the meaning of life? Where is Waldo? It is all there.
But here is the thing. As with all good story telling and journalism, you have to grab them with the first line, draw them in a bit .... and then drop the hammer of truth. Bang. Then cut. And let it be. Until the next episode.
Lynell, if that’s a grammar question, “he” is correct. The simple way to test is to use the pronoun alone, dropping the additional parties. To refine it, if you are including “you” and “I/me”, you put “you” first and yourself last. The incorrect usage used to be drummed out of us by 3rd grade at the latest. In the past 20 years the incorrect usage has become so common, I hear it from teachers and news anchors, and correct usage has started to sound strange.
Now we’re hearing the use of “myself” in place of “I”, which also drives me crazy. To be correct: “I went to the store and I bought myself a treat.”
“Myself” is essentially from me to me or me without help. “I painted it myself.”

Stochastic activism?
Isn’t he though? Plenty of people on YouTube that will love having TC as gift of a guest.
I think he (him?) and Greg Olear would make quite the podcast; just sayin'

Yes, I’m a retired teacher and a grammar nerd.
Thank you, Danielle! I lost my way when, as you say, correct usage started to sound strange. I am grateful for this reminder.
