No, but I think you didn't read it carefully. I deliberately used the wrong word - the contraction "you're" instead of "your", the possessive - and ran the paragraph through the spell checker of Microsoft Word 2010. It found nothing wrong with it because "you're" was spelled correctly. The fact that it was grammaticlly incorrect was not noted by the spell checker.

That was the point I was trying to make. Apparently, I failed miserably. However, perhaps this poem will explain it better:

Poet Tree with Mist Aches.

I have a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye cannot sea.

I yews a quay two right a word
I weight for it to say
Weather eye am rong oar wright
It shows me strait away.

As soon as a mist ache is made
It nose bee four two late
And eye can put the errer rite
It's reelly, reelly grate.

I've run this poem threw it
I'm shore your pleezed to no
It's letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
