It's actually doing something intelligent: you can't grammatically say "your a (something)", it has to be "you're a (something)", so it's actually correcting you're (sic) grammar.

What if you were going to type a whole other phrase in there? I don't need some hack crap-ware trying to out-think me.

The spelling checker gives too many false positives in technical documentation due to acronyms and jargon. The grammar checker doesn't come with an appropriate model for my documents' typical audience, and I'm not willing to spend the time constructing one. The auto-format and auto-correction stuff just pisses me off, as I'm always having to go back and undo the changes it makes.
