Perhaps, you could try this sentence in "word" (guess you are referring to MS word) I should've done it.

I think the error that mikinsmith had in mind was 'should [STRIKE]of[/STRIKE]' - which is, unfortunately, quite a common mistake. b

They also underline Google, so their spellcheck does need some work. ;-)
