So... turn it off. All that stuff is turnoffable in Word - selectively, even. For instance, I'll have no truck with "smart quotes" or priggish capitalization "repair", but I'm happy to let it throw the accents on Dìqiú for me, superscript the "th" in "10th", and convert 1/2 into ½ automatically.

One thing I've noticed, however, as I've been working on CTCS, is that I have an odd compulsive quirk. If I'm typing along and commit a typo, and see Word autocorrect it, I have to back up and fix it myself anyway. It's like I'm paying a little penance for being a sloppy typist. :)
