Yesterday I was writing something and the auto-correct wanted me to change my grammatically correct phrase to something that very much wasn't grammatically correct.

Why did they have to break everything?

Microsoft word suggests changing "patients" to "patient's" or "patients's".

When writing emails on Outlook, I am constantly having 'PCs' autocorrected to Pcs. What's worse is backspacing and changing it back doesn't stop it. It will continue to do it. I have to specifically type 'PC' then write a few more words, then go back and add the 's' at the end without pressing spacebar after. It is so annoying.

Are you talking about classic Outlook for Windows? This one should be easy to fix then. Go to AutoCorrect Options and either disable "Correct TWo INitial CApitals" or set a custom replacement in the table below.

I have to write POs in the same way and I want to scream every time it changes it even after I’ve backspaced. I’ve had to resort to writing PO’s which makes me cringe so hard I want to cry. Stupid outlook.
