yes, it's just the way it works.
Here's a little bit of proof. If the text was being stretched by the monitor that would mean the images and everything else on the screen were being stretched as well, right? Well right now I'm watching a video in media player and the little round pause button at the bottom is a perfect circle.
If the screen was stretching anything this would be an oval not a circle:

If I set my resolution to 1280*1024 then everything is stretched. The button becomes an oval that is stretched from the sides.
Anyway I realize it still takes some getting used to but believe me the advantages of the wide screen are worth taking a short time to get used to.
