I'm sorry, we don't do that sort of thing on Wordie.

Unless you're a word. Or a tag.

Such a feature would be utterly redundant: You could just make an open list labeled “Friends�?; everyone could add themselves. (Why isn't it "themself" as substitute for "himself/herself"?)

*Feigned innocence* Surely because himself can be used to imply both sexes indeterminately?
More puzzling to me: why not oneself, if it's something everyone could do?

'everyone' can be read as singular or plural. Like 'lego'. Mass noun or count noun. So you can have it both ways - everyone (the mass) can add themselves, or everyone (each component person) can add him/her/themself.
I don't believe in the word 'themself'. We don't have 'oneself' in that context, I reckon, because 'oneself' already has a first-person meaning and can't handle a third-person one on top of that.

Interesting, thanks.
Besides, oneself is clearly underwordied.
