I have checked the preference, but doesn't seem to have an option there! Does anyone know? Thanks

Cool! Thanks.

Just curious... why?

[chucker]

As an excuse to leave AN?

Maybe he's the new spelling bee champ and doesn't need for a computer to tell him how to spell?

Just a thought.

In that case, the spell checker would never hinder his writing and he therefore wouldn't need to turn it off.

I'll repeat rasmits' question: why?

[torifile]

Because he ran out of questions that he could easily use google to find the answer?

That's true Brad, I didn't even think of that.

Well in fact I would like to know how I can disable spell checking OS wide. Most cocoa apps use OS X's built in spell checker.

For me that is annoying because I live in the dutch speaking part of Belgium, but I insist on using OS X in English and thus the spellchecker marks almost every word I type as incorrect...

The UI language and the spell check language are completely unrelated. In fact, you could also set the spell checker to multilingual, in which case it will recognize on a per-sentence basis what language you are typing in.

Djeez that I didn't think of looking any further in the contextual spellchecker menu.... Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !
