But I think according to the dictionary, to articulate something means to "To pronounce distinctly; to utter, give utterance to; to express in words" so I think you can articulate words, ideas, your thoughts, your opinion, and so on, but not "yourself." I mean, to say "he articulated himself" basically means "he articulated his ideas well," and everybody knows what you mean, so what's the difference. I guess my joke was getting at that little logical kink. Whatever, I hate myself.

Edit: oh, I see your post now, Atari. LOL.......uh. I still hate myself. I logged into the OED for this. I gotta go get some dinner. And a life.
