Spellchecks are fine usually but I have not yet found one I like when it comes to auto-correcting, as I cannot seem to get the rhythm when I'm trying to type and seeing my words and writing change without my interaction is very distracting. I also don't really like the way of "teaching" new words to most auto-corrects (macOS gets it right I think, just right-click the word the OS doesn't recognise and select "Learn"), but I remember it being far more annoying on other OSes.
Similarly my frustration with Office is that depending on how you access it (web version, office 365, within Teams, etc), it's been my experience that the configuration/preferences are not carried over so it's just very annoying to know that despite Office365 being so connected, depending on how I use Office365 my preferences aren't carried over.
I would vastly prefer if spellchecks and auto-corrects were more restrained in what they tried to fix. A lot of the grammar changes are inane typically or treating stylistic choices as grammar mistakes. Probably Office just isn't for me but I think it changes the writing enough in many cases that the meaning is lost.
