Microsoft editor spelling check

Is there a way to deactivate the new Microsoft Editor spelling check in Outlook 365 from web browser and activate back the chrome spelling check default tool?

I write emails in 3 different languages and with this new tool it takes a lot of time to change the proofing language. While with the chrome spelling tool I can change proofing language with a simple right click and 2 more left clicks. 

Right now, I am writing emails with Word and copy them to Outlook 365, because it is easier then to go through all menus (settings\view all outlook settings\Email\Compose and Reply"Scroll all the way down"\Microsoft Editor Settings\open dropdown menu\scroll around to select language - I cannot even use letters to search for the language\select language\click OK\Close everything\restart the browser\open Outlook365 again. After writing all of this it seems an even bigger problem. Is there an easy way to do this? It would also be OK for me. 

If this does not change I will need to configure my accounts to receive/send my outlook emails in/from my Gmail account, because this is super annoying and time consuming. I have much more to worry than this. 

Thank you.

Nuno

    Thank you for your reply. 

    I was not able to enable Chrome "Spell Check" even after completely disabling Microsoft Editor. But something changed and now I can. 

    It is just much easier to change proofing languages with Chrome "Spell Check" than with Microsoft Editor.  

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Nuno,

    Glad to assist you, to confirm with you , you current request is to disable Microsoft Editor on your outlook web, if it not scenario, sir would you please explain a little bit more to me? Many thanks.

    Open up outlook and start an email, you can go to 'editor settings'.  it's located along the bottom next to the emoticon smiley face, there is a 'pen' type icon with 3 lines.  Left click on that and you can turn on/off either spell check or grammar check. 

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Yours Sincerely,

    George
