Yo, the MXO is delayed. Oh wait. It worked. I font believe it.
Why does auto correct always mark don't, wouldn't and other like them as misspelled?

For me, I like that people start these kinds of threads or have conversations about grammar and the proper use of the English language.
Sometimes and old refrigeration guy needs a reminder or two about these things.
