<p>If you <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/28/turn-off-auto-correct-in-mac-os-x-lion/">disabled spelling auto-correct</a> in Mac OS X Lion but find yourself still being autocorrected as you type various words in Safari, that’s because Safari 5.1 has a separate spelling and grammar engine than the core OS. Here’s how to turn it off:</p>

<ul>

<li>Open a new Safari window and select a text-input box by clicking into it (<a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/18/tablet-design-before-after-the-ipad/#comments">here’s a quick link to our comments</a> if you want to use that)</li>

<li>Pull down the Edit menu and scroll down to “Spelling and Grammar”</li>

<li>Select “Correct Spelling Automatically” so that the check no longer appears next to it</li>

</ul>

<p>You can disable Safaris spell checking here too, but the autocorrect feature is what actually causes your words to change themselves rather than just be highlighted by the checking feature.</p>
