I have used 'themself' my entire life, even though the books said it was not correct English.

Yeah I don't know if using "they" as singular pronoun is actually correct. I don't teach it. I always write "he/she".

Never heard of this word.😮
Will it be correct to say : themselves?
Thanks Ben.

Plural wouldn't work? You're already using plural. Be consistent at least.
