To begin, let me tell you a little about myself, - the word is used reflexively in place of ‘me’ as the object of a preposition or as the direct or indirect object of a verb. You thought you were going to get some info about me, the writer, didn’t you? Ha! Instead, you’re served up a grammatical definition of a reflexive pronoun. If that’s not enough to put you off reading the rest of this book, then hats off to you. But be warned, the rest of the book is not going to be any different.
