Themself

An English word that for some damn reason sounds incorrect to our brain, is not listed as a word, gets spellchecked, but yet is perfectly correct grammar-wise.

Why it's not an officially recognized word (while its plural form is) is beyond me.

For example, in the sentence "the Church themself stated that...", the Church is a single entity and therefore can be used in its singular form.

Guy 1: The fact that themself is not officially recognized as a word.
Guy 2: Frfr bro
