Red Wavy Line under text-how to disable-

Anonymous

Whenever I'm typing an email, I get these wavy red lines under the text.  Ordinarily I would assume that it was for a misspelled word, or for an error in grammar.  But right clicking on the word or paragraph doesn't do anything, and once it starts, here it is right now while I'm typing this, once it starts it won't go away for the rest of the document, email, etc.

How can I get rid of this or disable it?  I'm using Windows Edge browser.

EDIT:

I posted this question when Windows 10 was still relatively new.  I don't have this problem any more, it went away on its own a long time ago.  I'm assuming some Windows update cured it.

    Aha! I've got an example. I am not sure how this example will help but here it is. I do not have any idea what kicks it off, it is not any particular punctuation or anything that I can figure out but I have a feeling maybe I hit some key in error to start it (is that a possibility?)

    I will be unavailable to do much for the next week because I am leaving my laptop behind.

    Its hard to believe with 14 inquiries, one screen shot of what is happening, reducing the problem to gmail accounts using Microsoft Edge browser that NO ONE has been able to give ANYTHING useful to correct this!!!!  Needless to say I struggle with this problem also.

    Same problem here. When I start an email all is fine but after a while (possibly after a corrected mistake) the whole rest of the email is red wiggly underlines. It doesn't seem to affect what is sent out but is very annoying to look at.

    I have this same problem red wavy lines under all text - even though words are not misspelled, right clicking shows a lot of technical stuff I don't understand - occurs in outlook email and in word documents and even when I was trying to review in trip advisor.
