Hard gender-neutral pronoun question

Hi. Please help. Is this correct to use "plans" when each person has just one plan in this made-up definition for some word. I don't know for what word it would be but just thought up the definition to ask questions.

XXX is an act of someone expressing their plans to others.

How about this? Is the word "them" at the end correct, when I think it refers to "something"? Again, I made this up just to ask questions, like the one above.

If someone pays for something such as a cookie or pie, they provide money for them.

Anonymous Is this correct to use "plans" when each person has just one plan in this made-up definition for some word. *** is an act of someone expressing their plans to others. 'Someone' is singular, so they have a singular plan.
