Right. Of course you can disable it.

It's up to those who implement RoundCube to be concerned and to
advertise the users. We're just trying to keep the requirements for
the PHP environment as low as possible and Google's spell checking is
a good way to provide this functionality on a $4.99 hosting box.

As an an alternative, you can use the Nox Spell Server which provides
the same interface as Google Spell. See 'spellcheck_uri' in
config/main.inc.php

Also, everybody is welcome to contribute code that implements ans
other spell checking solution with RoundCube...
