Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall
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.

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.
