Well that's the stupidest take of the day, pray tell, what does each mean?
Each is a singular of a plural. “Each apple was delicious” is not the statement of a singular. “Each person can make their own decisions” is a singular under each but speaking of a plural.
With this usage of 'each' you are iterating through members of a set, referring to all members of the set individually.
And themself is not a word, just as himselves is not. Them applies pluralism, therefore the only grammatical sentence is “each person can decide for themselves”
As the dictionary says, "every one of two or more people or things, regarded and identified separately".
It’s more than one by any usage otherwise the term itself is redundant as I said before. The adverb also only represents the noun in question. This is why each use of “them” denotes a plurality
No it isn't. You are just making stuff up.
