    Word correctness is driven by societal use. Just like you can add a word not recognized to a spelling dictionary, there could be a way to modify the grammar rules to not correct certain things that you will be using frequently. At least it doesn’t autocorrect.

    As a side note, don’t some gay couples call one of themselves the wife? Which interestingly doesn’t seem to be allowed in legal documents in many countries where gay marriages are legal, the term has to be gender based. California seems to have the best solution for the future, “spouse1” and “spouse2” on their documents. Which technically still has one of them listed first… o.O

    Anyone notice spellcheck went dogshit since AI? It flags any common sayings instantly, but takes forever on actually misspelled words. Then I click for a simple correction and it can’t make heads or tails on what the word was supposed to be, even if google search figures it out just fine.

    I’m only gen z and I remember spellcheck working way better than this.
