I was working on my book...I typed Cadyna (forgetting momentarily that I had not typed it on Word yet and so it was not in the dictionary) and the computer was desperate to convince me that Cadyna's name is actually cantaloupe.
I think I might turn this into her nickname...

I was typing "Eldritch" and spell-check suggested the word "britches". No other words, just britches. I really wonder who is in charge of these things.

Once I decided to include some Estonian phrases in a fanfic written in English... computer didn't like it. I think my favourite moment was when 'kohutav kass' (horrible cat) was changed to 'Jehovah mass'.
Also, in History class teacher's Word corrected Aleksander Suur (Alexander the Great) to Alexa Sour. :}

During an Irish Lit class, one of my classmates wrote a paper comparing and contrasting William Butler Yeast and Samuel Bucket.
Also, apparently my kitchen has a tim roof, and my phone knows better than I do that I live my girlfriend very much....

I had to do a research on a foreing nation, and I choose France.
Obviously, I cited the Storming of the Bastille in French history, but in Italy Bastille is italianized as Bastiglia.
Word decided that the Bastiglia didn't exist and corrected it to Pastiglia (pastil, tablet).

I once wrote a Watership Down script and my computer was very insistent that instead of El-ahrairah I wanted to say Hell-raiser, Camel-Hair or Waffle-Iron.
