Great lines from student papers--although I've warned them about this, they still don't think critically about the changes MS Word suggests. And yet maybe spellcheck can think more than we guess:

"Gregor wakes in the mourning to find he's become a beetle"

"The narrator goes to a distract of shops in search of Zaabalawi"

My mother is a retired French teacher, and her favourite example was the person who meant to write "I can" and wrote "je poubelle". (For non French-speakers, "poubelle" can mean "tin can" but more normally means "dustbin".)
