I second this request for an evernote-specific autocorrect switch!! Besides technical non-words which also plague my experience, I also want to abbreviate for speed, and autocorrect bites me quite frequently. I don't want to turn it off entirely at the system level as I do appreciate the autocorrection in email, word processing and other applications.

Word Autocorrect Settings

Obral booq bags taipan spacesuit for machine. In addition, names are often auto corrected. I was typing a last name, and ended up with this. SMS cou I have no idea what that got auto corrected from so my note is totally useless and that person will be left out. I'm curious to know why this is a global Mac OS thing. For example, a text editor app I use called Chocolate will not format '-' as '––'. Note that I have my smart quotes and dashes turned on. However, when entering hyphens into textedit it will turn the two '-' into '––' automatically.

(I also converted everything to plain text to make sure and the smart dash '––' remained) From this little experiment it seems like turning off/on smart dashes and quotes would in fact be possible from within an app. Please let me know where I'm going wrong if I'm off-base. Thanks for the pointer to the global Mac OS settings. However, this autocorrect issue has only recently become a problem in Evernote on OSX.

I use Evernote to record code and command-line arguments all the time, and I only recently started seeing the smart dash corrections. So, either OSX has changed the default global autocorrect settings, or Evernote has changed the way it conforms to those global settings. If the latter, surely it would be easy to include an option in the Evernote preferences to override autocorrection?
