Setting to Disable Automatic Text Replace (OS X 10.9.1) When typing in a rich text format form in an application (such as the Notes app, Mail compose message dialog, Evernote) my Mac automatically corrects two or three dashes (--) into one long dash (—).

I don't want this behaviour because I manage my time using a plain text based system that I have been using since several years ago. The latest update to 10.9 changes this behavior.

I have tried looking into the Keyboard settings, I have turned off Correct spelling automatically option in Text settings to no avail.
Nevermind, I have found the answer to my problem. As I was writing the question, I found another setting under Keyboard > Text; Use smart quotes and dashes.

This option is probably set to true by default. Leave it unchecked and the problem is solved.

I actually clicked Post your question and answer when submitting the question, but somehow the answer doesn't show up.
