Default Discourage auto-correct spelling. It harms spelling cognition.

This is a plea for the good of mankind! The use of auto-correction for
spelling in Word harms people's understanding of the language. It does not
need to be eliminated, but its use should be discouraged among students and
poor readers/writers. It is a necessity in certain work environments, of
course, but it should not correct complex words like "anomoly," where a
person should at least have to take one extra step before seeing the proper
spelling.

Whatever. Is anyone ever going to see this?
