Setting to Disable Automatic Text Replace (OS X 10.9.1)

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.

Actually, all you need to do is go to Languages Preferenses and select Keyboard. Then select Text. You will see a column marked replace with. On my system there were some default shortcut phrases (i.e. "where are you?") and I simply deleted them. No need to uncheck the smart quotes and dashes.

If it is just for Text Editor, go to Preference - Plain Text and uncheck Smart Dash. It work for me and no need to turn off for all Apps in System Prefs.
