Themself?

[MontyVeda]

You are sure it is. Me and the OED aren't sure.

I'll go my own way.

Themself is listed in Collins, so I'm convinced that it a; exists as a word. and b; is an English word.

Being in the dictionary doesn't mean it is grammatically correct. Oxford Collins dictionaries are descriptive not prescriptive.

 

[MontyVeda]

A listing in a dictionary has nothing to do with grammatical correctness.
Its listing does prove that the word exists though, unless you think dictionaries also list words that don't exist.
