Good day!
iMessage on my mac fixes my typos as I type despite the fact that I've disabled spell check in settings.
Here is how it looks:
Is there any way to fix that? Thank you in advance.

You can't set it per application, but you can set it to support multiple languages and detect them automatically.
To do so (in Lion - although I've been using this at least since Leopard), open System Preferences, go to Language & Text, select the Text tab, set Spelling to Automatic by Language, then open the Spelling dropdown again, select Setup... at the bottom and check the languages you want to enable.
This is not a answer...but to show the result of a test
It confirms a problem with using a dash with spell checker in Mail.app and Notes ect... on my MBA with 10.9.5
The result is sporadic, sometimes if the word before dash is correct it will ignore the word after dash, sometimes not.
Interestingly if I enable check Grammar with Spelling it will work correctly.

In Messages, go to Edit > Spelling and Grammar and make sure the items for automatic correction are UNchecked.
