I am getting more and more aggravated with my spell and grammar check. I used the word dun in a post and they said that I did not mean dun, but I meant run. Just now I talked about a dog tearing up a couch and they told me I mean coach. There are other examples.
When I pick a word for its precise meaning, I mean to use that word. Why does grammar check presume I mean a more common word? I feel like lobbing things at the computer. They tell me I mean robbing. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Do you hate your spell, grammar check, or autocorrect? Maybe I should just tell them to write posts while I vacuum. What do you think?

I am grateful for mine because it really does help me when I misspell a word. I realize how I really can't spell when I sit down to type something.

I make a lot of typos and the red underlining really helps me spot them. And I spell some words wrong. The same words every time. So I am grateful for it telling me that. I just don't like them telling me I meant a different word. Oh, when I am deliberately trying to spell wrong, the darn autocorrect keeps changing it back.

Can it be turned off? I have most trouble with Latin names of trees or whatever where the word might be 'immaculata' or somesuch and it changes it to 'immaculate'. But I wish you luck with getting it to write a post for you.

Yes, these are very annoying. So many times we have to undo what they did to undo what we did!
