    Default myself

    "I like quickness myself."

    Here the "myself" could be omitted of course - what's the difference between these two sentences (1. with "myself" used 2. without "myself") ?

    Thanks

    It would help if you post a complete sentence.

    It emphasizes that it's your personal opinion and it may not be in alignment with the opinions of others.

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    It's usually used to show an opinion in contrast to someone else's (or various other people's).

    My best friend likes classical music. Many of my other friends like jazz. I like opera myself.

    That's the whole sentence.

    Thank you.
