AutoCorrect is considered 'clutter'

One terrible call on Microsoft's part was its decision to remove AutoCorrect from Word’s Spelling Error Context Menu. In Word 2010, if you right-clicked an incorrectly spelled word, the program invited you to choose from alternate spellings. That feature is still available, but you can no longer choose to have Word  correct the misspelled word fixed automatically every time you  accidentally type it. Microsoft says that this omission reduces "clutter in the spelling error context menu” and thus helps users find popular commands faster, as well as fitting the menu on the screen much better. (Somewhat surprisingly, Word treats New Comment and Hyperlink as more popular commands than AutoCorrect for the spelling error context menu.) Regrettably, Microsoft also removed this option from the new spelling task pane.
