Just tried this and couldn’t reproduce. I thought it might be to do with the context - e.g. if the person had been referred to with female pronouns already, but couldn’t get anything from that, either. I then did a few other experiments to check that it was working.

In German, there is a correction for the sentence about Martha, but not for the sentence about Marcus, which is all correct. In English, there is no correction for Mary even though I refer to her inconsistently within a couple of sentences - so maybe this has been special-cased since the screenshot.

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.

Dont be evil!

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

Proud google hater for over 20 years now. 😁 I just don’t understand why they’re still relevant at all.
