I've got the *most* effective method[1]:
1. Duplicate TextEdit
2. Use Interface Builder to open:
/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Edit.nib
3. Select the offending menu item
4. Press cmd-shft-I
5. Change the title to something shorter
6. Change the key equivalent to ";"
7. Select cmd and alt as key modifiers
8. Select "Mixed" in the state buttons
9. Save
Open your new version of TextEdit and press cmd-alt-; to toggle
spellchecking while typing on and off.
[1]Of course, this is *pure* speculation as one should never tamper with
software in this way...
