Thank Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu very much.
I needed to disable spell checker because I'm Albanian and cuurrently no spell checker for my native language.
Yeah, it's OK to use for english (even I'm not very good in english) but I do not regulartly and I'm going nervous when I see red lines bellow words. :D
Thanks again, VG. You made my day.

I do not regulartl = I do not use it regularly.

I had an odd experience with this.
Last night, I followed the directions above, although I picked a different spell-check language (and I can't remember which one). It didn't seem to help; if anything, it made *more* words get flagged. So I checked the Preferences file, and discovered that my deletion of the language code hadn't been saved. I tried it several more time with the same result. I gave up.
This morning I gave it another try, and I specifically chose "Hindi-India". And it worked! Thankyou!

Thanks !
Chrome spellchecker is unfinished, option to add new words is missing ! Without that is pretty much unusable and annoying
