How do I turn off autocorrect on my Mac?

My Mac keeps fixing words I meant to type, especially in Messages and Notes. I'd like to switch it off across the board. Is there one setting, or is it per app?

System Settings, Keyboard, then Edit next to Input Sources, and switch off Correct spelling automatically. Capitalise words automatically and the double space full stop are in the same place if those annoy you too. Some apps keep their own setting though. If Pages or Word is still correcting after that, check the Edit menu in that app, Spelling and Grammar.
