“Myself” used instead of “me” - eg, “Come talk to Ann or myself.”
Even worse, Myself used as the subject in place of "I".
When people use myself it always sounds pretentious. Just say me!
I don't usually see myself being used as the subject, but I hear so many people using "I" instead of me like they are afraid of using the objective case of pronouns incorrectly. They err when trying not to err.

"Mackenna Brianne! Come back right now!"
"Tanner Ewan! Please put that back."
Haha I didn't realize until I read this that this also annoys me, and had never thought about why parents do this but this is totally why.
There's a seemingly new kind of parent who is overly obsessed with naming and really into the names they picked and critiquing or admiring other people's kids names. I have encountered it online and occasionally in person. These are 100% the people yelling "Roxanna Marie!" at the playground.
In my experience, those parents are yelling names like Ryder, Chase, or Blaze.
Oh man...I do this and didn't realize how it comes off. Does it apply even if your kids have boring names?

Can someone PLEASE explain what “six seven” means? Anyone? Kids keep saying it over and over but I have no idea what it means.
There’s a high school sped teacher who comes on the Today show to explain lingo. Apparently six seven doesn’t really mean anything.
