You can turn off spell checking pretty easily. You can
also mark what language your text is in via
Tools->Language. If you want to turn off spell
checking for a specific piece of text, go to
Tools->Language and select "None".
This is not a problem with our tool. It's a problem of
you not knowing how to use our tool.
