It is surprisingly easy to mis-train your spellcheck, and also surprisingly hard to un-train it. Of course that is specific to your OS and your specific machine. My Android phone has a set of mis-training that is different from that of Edge on my PC. Each of your devices has it’s own idiosyncratic list. And of course what it has inadvertently learned is the particular typos you often make, but don’t often correct. So that behavior is amplified. For a lot of reasons, none good IMO, the designers make it very difficult to really know what customizations and adaptations have crept in, nor any easy way to back them out. Either selectively or _en masse_. ---

My plan is just to continue to forgive myself and certainly all of you for all the auto-correct _faux pas_ that slip through our combined vigilance. ---

I switched phones a few months ago, and spellcheck carried over my always capitalized T in Trump, but it still hasn’t learned that maga should be all-caps. ---

I know lots of people who came to this country (or Canada) illegally and have since gotten their status adjusted either by amnesty or marriage (sometimes questionable) who voted for Trump and bleat on about people “having the right to come here, but must do it the right way.” ---
