Legitimize the Words Themself, Himselves and Herselves
Did you know that the word themself is not a legitimate word?
This is a very sad reality. There is a small loophole, a small exception like a Ford that works; where this word can exist. There is a very rare case where this word is needed.
The exception is if there was a person that had a multiple personality. His name was Tommy and he had a friend that no one else could see that he always talked to, named Timmy. So for an example I am having a conversation with you about Tommy and I am explaining his situation: “Tommy seems to be talking to himselves a lot.” To say that he was simply talking to himself is not correct for this statement does not describe that the situation that Tommy multiple personality disorder. This may imply that Tommy was simply talking to himself like any person might do.
There are real people, just like Tommy that need this word to be legitimized. I would get that powerful super-writer Mark Twain to help but someone said he is dead. How inconvenient and inconsiderate of him.
