I am also experiencing this in the environment of the customer I am currently working for. It is immensely anoying as I can throw spelling check into the thrash and makes work a lot harder as the entire page is filled with red lines. Please add an option to disable this on user-basis as you are currently destroying my efficiency with this update and I can imagine, multiple customers of Microsoft who work in multi-language environments.

Any news on this? All my written text in Sharepoint is done in a language that doesn't have any sort of spellchecker, and working with text in Sharepoint is massively frustrating because of it. Depending on text size, it can take up to a minute to change just a single header because I have to wait for the spellchecker to go through all of the text before I apply a header or any other sort of change to the text. That's almost 10 minutes of waiting if I have 10 "heading 3" that I need to apply.

    YukioFujii this might be different depending on region, but a short while after I posted here, all my sites got the option to turn off the "Editor".
    
    Check out the page details when editing a site, you might see a toggle to disable the Editor.
