[QUOTE="kwahamot, post: 609895, member: 23279"] [url]http://dryfish.livejournal.com/8148.html[/url] The method at the above link works and is easy if you're command line savvy. A few apps may complain repeatedly, such as Aperture, but if you disable their individual spell-checking preference (usually under a "Spelling' sub-menu item) they will quiet down. Here's part of the thread: [I][SIZE="3"]"Disabling spell checking in MacOS X Tiger sudo mv /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service \ /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service.disabled For some reason nobody in the whole internet wants to disable the spell checker. The bloody red dashed underline really annoys me and it's always on the things I say which aren't supposed to be real words and I know that they're not so what's the point of telling me they're not real words!? Anyway, I did the mv and it's stopped so I could potentially be happy."[/SIZE][/I] [/QUOTE]
