Disabling Autocorrect For Specific Apps in OS X

We all love jokes about autocorrect because they're just so ducking relatable. That said, we still find ourselves frustrated by it. We leave it on system-wide because, more often than not, it's helpful. So what about that one app where autocorrect is always a pain? Turn it off!

  1. Open the app you want to disable autocorrect for and put your cursor in a text-entry field
  2. Click the Edit menu and choose Spelling and Grammar
  3. Turn off Correct Spelling Automatically

Spelling and Grammar menu options

Now you can use your slang and business jargon unfettered by a dictionary that just doesn't get you. Enjoy.
