So why do you say "Hm, that's a pretty good avatar if I do say so myself"?

Did you design that avatar?

Guys, calm down. I'm just saying that it was an awesome avatar.

Arnox, the phrase "if I do say so myself", when used correctly, is a disclaimer that acknowledges personal bias. For instance, if you were to bake a cake, you might say "It turned out quite well, if I do say so myself", meaning, "Of course, I am biased, since this cake is the result of my efforts, but nonetheless I consider it a worthy cake." Personally, I often use it ironically, to also imply that I don't give a rat's ass what people think of my personal biases, but it is more frequently used ingenuously.

I know that many people use this phrase as though it means simply "in my opinion", but many people are thoughtless butchers of the English language.

I hope this helps you in some measure, although I doubt you will take this advice in the spirit is was offered (an entirely disingenuous gesture of heartfelt concern). In any case, I'm glad I wrote this, for, if nothing else, it is yet another brilliant little gem of a post in a long line of brilliant little gems.

If I do say so myself.

I think it sounds much better with an even prefixed to it.

Have I mentioned how much I love the fact that such a discussion (well, more like a statement with some retorts) is taking place?   :-D

So many people misuse various parts of the English language that the mistakes have become commonplace to the extent where no one, (as in, the "average" person,") realizes they actually are mistakes. It's nice to see syntactical discussions for once!

On that note, I think it is perfectly acceptable for prepositions to be used to end sentences with.

Case in point--average person.  Most improbable that one could exist.  A characteristic of a person may be compared to the same characteristic in others and an average calculated.  For a person to be average, one would have to measure every conceivable attribute and there would need to be a person whose variance to every x-bar is zero.  The existence of god is even more probable than that.

more like average person in terms of what you learn in an educational institution when you're young. most either don't care, don't pay attention, or don't learn it, so most people don't know it. that's what i meant. Hence the ""
