The spellchecker in word always assumes the best of you. It always assumes that your a polite person.
Obviously, Word knows how to spell fuck.
However, if you write a sentence like "go fuckk yourself," Word wants to correct that fuckk to funk, duck, or buck.
Naturally, there is a line of code somewhere in there that makes it not correct offensive language. I think that's kinda cute.

Most likely, I'd guess it's like that so some little kid doesn't spell "gooey ducck" in his report and then have a paper turned in with the title "gooey fuck." That would be an embarrassing thing to have happen in the second grade.
But, I just like to think that Word, yes, Words believes we're all nice and polite people, who must not have meant to write such a naughty word....
