    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
