Or. as you start to type "Dear Mr..", it suggests "Dear Mom and Dad". Let's be honest: even assuming your parents are still a couple, how often is that going to be of any use whatsoever?
There used to be a prominent reinsurance company called CNA to which I would frequently refer in writing. Word knew for a fact that I was trying and failing to type CAN and would helpfully correct me - eventually I would get annoyed and find the switch to disable it, at which point IT would give me another computer, or I would change jobs. CNA Reinsurance is now deceased, so Word limits its aggravation to telling me that I don't want to type "r/i" (standard abbreviation for reinsurance or reinstatement), because i on its own should always be a capital letter - so it helpfully corrects me to "r/I" which is a total pain to correct.
I'm (mildly) surprised that anyone would use the auto-check function while typing, as seems to be the case here. Immediately upon getting one of these Computer things, I discovered that I wasn't as good a speller or typist as I had thought I was, but (after doing one document) decided that I'd surely explode from frustration using any system other than running the spelling-checker after all the material has been typed. For me, at least, this actually takes less time than the auto-function, especially considering that Word's first suggestion is often not what I'd intended to write.

As opposed to "buildings" as a meaning.
