Description

**Motivation**

It gets very annoying very quickly to see red squiggles under all non-English text I write in the chat window.

**Proposed solution**

Implement a toggle in settings that disables spellcheck.

**Alternatives considered**

Finding a client with a better UI.

**Additional context**

Look at pretty much any other chat client.

Research direction

Start by locating the desktop settings UI and the chat window's spellcheck behavior. Add a settings toggle that disables spellcheck for chat text, then verify that changing the setting removes the red squiggles without affecting other chat functionality.
