@Diceyocean @gray @arcana of course it doesn't matter, I'm just curious on what rule causes this behavior and if it's local to the UK or actually reflect english as a global language

@lucy @gray well for the first you’d say “myself” technically over “can’t cook food for me”. When you bring in somebody else though you switch to the “and I”
https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/putting-myself-where-me-or-i-usually-goes
That’s some background for the rule. Obviously none of this matters, especially in online random chat, but the rules can be interesting to read and learn I think

@arcana @lucy @gray “myself” is correct here (reflexive object pronoun)
you wouldn’t say “I can’t cook for I”
and no, you don’t switch to I just because you bring in another person. grammar doesn’t care about the number. what matters is, are you doing an action (use “I”) or is that action done to you (use “me” or “myself”)? then, is someone else doing it to you (use “me”) or are you doing it to yourself (use “myself”)?

@J as in am I an expat? no. i was just exaggerating about how long it's been since i've taken english. but it's been since like 7th grade that i've had someone get on my case about grammar since I usually don't make many mistakes in formal writing

But you could be getting like $1,200/mo for being autistic or something.
