I suppose to others who’s English is no better, it sounds perfectly normal?

    Have others spotted the mistake ?

    ‘ who’s ‘ should be written as ‘ whose ‘

    And what does 'Wassup guys' mean please.
    I thought "pants" were bad, but "the pants" were good. Or am I getting mixed up with "bollocks" vs. "the bollocks"?

    Spellcheck is for spelling, not word selection or grammar.

    It's no longer spell check, the nanny state has decided predictive text is what we need, so often I have to edit the bollocks I didn't choose. On face ache there are no second chances.
