Correct use of the word: Yourself

[Mary Jirik Anderson]

Is this the correct use of the word "yourself" in this sentence:

I’m going to let yourself, Dustin and April work out the best time to meet.

I'm thinking that the word "yourself" should be replaced with the word "you".

Welcome to the forum, Mary.

You are correct, though this is a commonly heard mistake.

Hi!

Could you give me a quick brief as to why in this case, the word Yourself isn't correct?

I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

The simple object pronoun 'you' is the appropriate form here; we don't need 'yourself', which is mainly used reflexively or emphatically:

Be careful you don't hurt yourself.
Don't blame me. You did it yourself.
