Uly, my version is what you once suggested on VK (old English-Russian Chat). Remember? 😜

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

I think you’re referring to THEMSELF as a genderless singular plural

Alexander Аkimovadded a comment 5 years ago

Yes, I posted a picture with children standing on the snow with buckets and dousing themselves. I asked you what they are doing in the picture.

I don’t remember, but OURSELF doesn’t exist 😉

Your answer was “They are dousing themselves with ice-cold water.”
So isn’t it possible to say “We doused OURSELVES with cold water every morning”?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

Yes, but you wrote OURSELF
