Comment (by ryanduff):

 Found a few other projects reporting similar. And the response, for the
 most part, was to just rip it out.

 Don't most browsers support spell checking now as well? I know in at least
 Chrome and Safari on OSX I get spelling errors automatically highlighted.
 Not sure if that's a browser or host OS service though.

 From a quick search it looks like IE doesn't have built in spell check
 capabilities (other than 3rd party plugin) so that could be a bigger
 hinderance to the "just disable" option.
