Is there a way to turn off spelling/grammar checking?

I dont mind the red underlines and havent had issues the last few days, but today its randomly trying to combine words as I type. If I put a space between two words, before I finish typing the second word it frequently deletes the space and leaves two words as one.....literally "asone." When I try to add a space manually, it often changes one word or the other, and I get into a do-loop - I add space, AI changes one word, I correct the word, AI deletes the space, repeat. Its frustrating to be kind.

And bc my IT helpless desk at work always asks - yes I restarted my computer and no I dont have this issue with other sites or programs.

Thanks to the tech team for the work btw, overall still loving the update.
 
Interesting, I only see my browser's default behavior. There is a spell checker plugin for the editor they used, but I don't see any references to it in the JS when searching in the debug console (F12). And I don't have the svc.webspellchecker.net domain blocked.
