I'd like to have some example sentences on the usage of 'oneself'. I mean, not 'myself', 'yourself', etc., but the word 'oneself'. How do people use it? Sounds so weird to me. Thanks a lot

There is already an example sentence in the entry. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 15:00, 1 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
And Google book search has several million examples. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:07, 1 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Probably because one#Pronoun is no longer used much in English, so oneself sounds weird as well. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:34, 1 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Turkish translations contains errors, all of them. Kendi başına etc translates into " by oneself" on my own etc. kendi or özü is needed here. Even though I tell myself let them call whatsoever they like; I agree a community driven platform should stick to some standards.Flāvidus (talk) 17:49, 26 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
