Since upgrading to Lion I notice that typing is automatically getting "corrected".
For example, I type "I posted to elance that" and the word elance automatically changes to "glance". I back up and change the 'g' to an 'e' and it changes it back to "glance" again.
I first noticed it in Mail, but I see it's also happening here in Safari too.
How do I turn this off? Note: I don't mind the 'red-squiggle' when it thinks there's a typo, but I don't want it automatically changing my text.

Go to system preferences -> and then language/text
Hit the "Text" tab.
There is a checkbox that says "Correct spelling automatically". Uncheck it.
