There is a company called bither, and I type bither in Mail and it changes it instantly to either.
I went to preferences, Composing, and changed spelling from as I type to never and it's till doing it.

As far as I know, Mail's speller should "learn" spelling based on when you change its "corrections." Have you been successful in changing the "either" back to "bither"?

G, test this yourself. Do an email, type bither in the body and watch it instantly become either.
I don't want to teach and learn. I want this instant correcting turned off.

Well, good luck to you then.
You seem hell-bent to ask for advice that you never want to take.
Why bother ?

Sorry, did not mean teach/ learn here on the forum! I meant teach/ learn with the software, I don't want Apple mail to be teaching me ...
I just want this behavior, instant correction turned off.
Your help on the forum is great!
Ok GH, just tested, and not it changes bither to bother!

I really don't know how you do it.
I just tested it. Typed bither, the first time it auto-corrected it to bother.
The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th time, it did NOT autocorrect it anymore.
Now it just stays bither.
You must be doing something wrong.

When I type bither, it gets underlined in red, NOT changed. "Check Spelling - As I Type" checks and identifies "misspelled" words. It does NOT automatically change them. Something else is changing your text as you type.

Thanks GH, just tested, does not do anything if first word in sentence, but then in middle of sentence currently getting changed to either, no identify, just instant change to either.
I would like to have the identify instead. Any guess, what is doing this?

I just realized that this is about OSX Mail, not iOS Mail.

That thing is system-wide. Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text (tab) and uncheck the Autocorrect text box. In older versions, you find that box under "Language & Text" instead.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

On OS X, you can either turn off the correction system-wide, or you can context-click on the "misspelled" word and tell the system to Learn the spelling.
