Do not use the corrector.
Set it to mark words it does not have in its dictionary.
Mine get marked with a dotted line under the word.

I actually opened this thread because I was intrigued by the subject of an inept, partisan comet.

I use the corrector because it's fairly reliable.

Not only is the corrector fairly accurate but it makes life much easier, it's far better to tap out "tomr<space>" than "tomorrow" on that tiny keyboard. Yes it bites you sometimes but overall it does great.

Surprised you got corrected though. It usually leaves uppercase words alone. Maybe because it was the start of your sentence.

That was worth the read just to see them try to cite Hillary Clinton as an example of an unfair Comey pursuit, but keep their partisans reading by adding a bunch of "but she deserved it anyway" text on their own.
Speaking out of both sides of one's mouth is a challenge, the good pundts and partisan writers sure are good at it.

We're all good at it. Hypocrisy is an interesting part of the human condition.

I've always said hypocrisy makes the world go round. If people were all pure and consistent nothing would get done.

to go back and proof read the old fashioned way.
I find automatic correction distracting.
Editing is for later.
I concentrate on what I think and automatic correction
breaks concentration. Contrary to what people say
we cannot multitask.
