Occasionally, when chatting, it is fun to deliberately misspell words, dyaknowadImean?

OS X Lion is autocorrecting my misspellings into completely random words! Does anyone know how I can temporarily, (e.g. by holding down a key as i type the deliberately misspelled word?) disable autocorrect?

Go to System Preferences, Keyboard, Shortcuts. Add a shortcut for All Applications. Give it the keystroke you like. The name should be: "Correct Spelling Automatically".

  • PS There is no need to restart - the keyboard shortcut is activated without a restart.

  • Nice. For people who prefer the mouse, an AppleScript might work. Just a thought.
