Yup. Like
constantly telling me I misspelled something instead of
letting me ASK you if I've misspelled anything (or, compromise,
*remind* me to ask you...)
I've got to disagree with you on this one. Done
correctly, this is
the single greatest computer innovation of the 21st Century!
It might be, if it weren't wrong so often. But I've seen it put up
its silly little misspelling warning for things that are in fact
spelled correctly. (Most commonly IME because they're nonstandard,
less often because it was too stupidly done to know about them.)
Second to this is failing to put up the warning for misspellings that,
for all that they are misspellings, happen to end up at the correct
spelling for some other word. (I conjecture that the latter tendency
is in large part responsible for today's pernicious misspelling of
"lose" as "loose", and quite possibly for the confusion of
"its" and
"it's".)
