OneNote 2013 offers many ways to customize the spelling checker to make it run more to your liking. For example, you can turn off the sometimes annoying wavy red lines that appear under misspelled words and choose whether to have the spelling checker examine uppercase words.
The options for customizing the spelling checker appear on the Proofing page of the OneNote Options dialog box.
