Hello, I am trying to correct a questionnaire. The person who has authored it has used 'yourself' and I am sure it is incorrect.
The question is
1) Who brought up the topic of long-term prognosis during your appointments? (Tick all that apply)
a. Yourself
b. GP
(.... more options follow)
The answer 'yourself' sounds wrong to me, and I believe it should be 'you'. If anyone could please advise, I would be most grateful.
Thanks
Katie

Re: The use of 'Yourself'
In this simple questionnaire format, 'yourself' would often be used. Strictly speaking, however, it should indeed read 'You (yourself)'.
