Spell check is only a computer software program...it looks at your words. Your English is so "broken" and there are so many "mis spellings" that the program gets "confused" with your "train of thought"... (it is looking for pattern recognition...groups of words that complete a thought!) so it is just giving you "options" in case you MEAN something different that what it is interpreting...
just like when you "spell check" the abbreviation: "lol!"
(We use that often..and WE know what that means!) ...but spell check doesn't recognize that...it will give you the option of " Li'l " (which is a poetic form of the word: " little "

Computer spell checking software utilise pattern recognition logic and very few take into account any type of context. The word cat is a three letter word with a vowel in the middle and so is cut. Most spell checking software will not take into account that cat is a noun and cut is a verb.
