Dear FTH Team,

I love and use FreeToastHost in several clubs. Kudos for constantly working on improving it to make our job as club officers easier and more streamlined.

Please forgive me if I pick one tiny nit:

Several times in the past I have passionately defended your use of "themself" in the notification message as an unusual, but perfectly logical, choice for a gender-neutral pronoun. blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2013/01/themself/ i.e. "xxx has added themself to the following role:"

Recently "themself" has been "changed to "his/herself" which, I'm sorry to say, it not grammatically correct. I would hope one would not, at least in a semi-formal setting like a TM meeting, say "hisself." Please see: grammarist.com/words/himself-vs-hisself/ The 3rd person masculine reflexive pronoun is "himself," therefore the acceptable expression would be: "him/herself."

Many thanks for your good work.
