Spent 15 min writing and rewriting a sentence because I couldn't make up my mind whether it's a 'themself' or a 'themselves' if 'they' refers to one person... Googling says 'themselves' but that's not logical so may I ask that we stop breaking English even more, plz & thx

I do the same as the anon above. If themself sounds better in a sentence I use it, and I wind up using themself a lot. Word yells at me for it.

Word can eat a dick, it doesn't even recognize my name and it's way more common than you'd guess.

Oh yeah Word is absolute trash with corrections, it tries to fix things incorrectly all the time. :'D But I'm still attached to it.
