For word games: set HTML attribute <spellcheck="false"> for personal notes

One could accidentally catch a misspelled or simply nonexistent word when writing notes to themself. <textarea spellcheck="false"> is a standard HTML attribute that works in all browsers. Currently, the HTML attributes of that textarea are set side-wide. My suggestion is to either give game devs control of that attribute, or set spellcheck="false" in the personal notes since spell checking is not important in a field that only the player will see themself.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... spellcheck and https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/ ... spellcheck for more information on this part of the HTML spec.

Example of the current (accidentally cheating) function of the notes box:
