The language is in the toilet. On my cell phone World Clock, Phoenix is spelled ‘Phenix.’

I received a few Christmas cards that were beautifully embossed/printed like this:
From the Smith’s
Happy Holidays from the Jensen’s

“Would of” or “Could of” instead of the contractions “Would’ve” or “Could’ve.”

How about the real thing, "would have" or "could have".

Spellcheck betrayals like "rouge" nation for "rogue" nation.
