Saykuh-REKTS/kəˈɹɛkts/
- 1Third-person singular simple present of correct.
The software automatically corrects misspelled words as you type.

Note
The -s form carries every verb meaning of correct, not only the fixing one: a teacher corrects exams, a friend corrects you when you misremember, and a parent who corrects a child may be disciplining rather than explaining. The spelling never belongs to the adjective, since a correct answer takes no -s. After a modal the bare form returns: she can correct it, never she can corrects it.
