I often type the word books, and it gets automatically corrected to boks.

Not too bad, boks = boxing.

But then it corrects book to bok, and I am telling a customer that the bok they ordered has arrived. Not too polite!

 Try typing in English in Word when the spellchecker is set to Turkish!!

Just to give an example of how bad spell check is:

At work, I have a signature that automatically inserts at the bottom of all my emails.  It includes, my name, title, phone and fax numbers and my email address.  Well, my IT department had my spell check set to where it automatically corrects spelling errors.  SOOOO.......It corrected my email address....instead of being my.name@sjmc.com......it read.....my.name@smut.com!  I didn´t realize it for MONTHS!!!!   Well, I was very embarrassed when one of my professional contacts pointed it out to me!!!!!!
