Disable built-in spell checking on Ice Cream Sandwich

So this is a fairly odd problem: I am currently working on an app using the latest SDK/ADT with my android:minSdkVersion set to 8.

When the app is deployed onto an ICS device (Galaxy Nexus), android is adding red-squiggly underlines to words it thinks are miss-spelled in TextView widgets.

See screenshot:

The layout in question:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    android:orientation="vertical" >



    <TextView

        android:id="@+id/textView1"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:editable="false"

        android:inputType="textMultiLine"

        android:text="This is a test of a TextView showing the spell checking when it shouldn&apos;t.  Phunware.com loves the game Baldr Force. Funimation.com"

        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" >

    </TextView>



</LinearLayout>

I have tried adding android:editable="false" to the widgets, with no effect.
