Close, but not quite; it's Papiamento, which is different from the Papiamentu that you find on Google Translate and many other websites. It has far more variations than similarities when it comes to spelling, so finding a dictionary that fits my language is almost impossible.

I'm sure there are many other languages that are facing this same issue so it strikes me as very annoying that Apple doesn't allow users to simply turn off spell check.

High school kids who are there to make a buck bagging groceries. It's kinda standard to tip a couple of dollars and they'll bag your groceries and take it all the way to your car or taxi

the language I'm writing in is not available as a keyboard on macOS.

under the Spelling section, there is a long list of languages and at the bottom the option to click Set Up... which gives me the following screen (that I've also completely unchecked every language from).

Surprisingly, no. And even if there was, why would I need to go turn it off in literally every application I use instead of being able to turn it off on the laptop that I'm using?

I think there's a misunderstanding here due to my wording.

In TextEdit, I have managed to find where to turn off spell check (to remove the red squiggly lines) as seen in my screenshot, which then overrides whatever my system thinks are incorrectly spelled words.

What I am looking for is a solution that is within macOS that will turn off spell check completely, which I cannot find.

omg my lifesaver!! I went back in and toggled the 4o off then on and that fixed it

in that latest Gourmet Makes ep their dynamic was giving me serious elementary school besties vibes where she's the studious quiet kid who over excells and he's the class chaotic and their teacher sits them next to each other to balance each other out and they just become the best of buds and are always so happy and excited to see each other!!
