Autodesk does sometimes neglect to provide an off switch for new features, but not in this case. In the editor, right-click, then pick Editor Settings and turn off the Check Spelling toggle. There are also items for Check Spelling Settings and Dictionaries.

Spell checkers are not spell checkers; they are word recognizers. If the word appears in a list of words, then it is valid — context be darned.

As a professional writer, it frustrates me greatly how gushing-with-billions-in-R&D companies like Microsoft are incapable of advancing spell and grammar checking beyond what my DOS copy of WordPerfect and Grammatik did 20 years ago.

But, I must say that real-time spell checking is wonderful, even if it is a 10-year-old feature in other words-oriented software.
