I’d like to be able to disable any spell/grammer/etc… check for some portions of a document.
Is that possible with LiberOffice?

If you want to be really selective with a user markup, set this language property in a style (paragraph or character depending on your need and the semantics of this part of your text) in the Font tab.
Change the language for that text to ‘none’.

That did it, thanks!
Just in case someone else reads this…
I originally went to Tools->Options->Language Settings, but that applies it to the whole doc.
For just a selection…
Do it by selecting the text you want, then Format->Character and select [None]

Remark: I wonder if your feedback could partially be qualified as an answer. Most probably, it should have been written as a comment to @mariosv’s answer.
Ok, I’ll try that.
Regarding answer/comment… yea, you’re right, shoulda been a comment.
For site rules sake, please, create a comment under m.a.riosv’s answer, then delete your answer. I’ve already transferred my comment so as not to lose it.
I have tried this, setting the language of two paragraphs to None (if only I could set it to Cornish) but the red squiggly lines are still there after I do this. I set the language in Format->Character as instructed.
Click Tools > Spelling, in the dialogue, click the Options button. At the bottom of the new dialogue, there is a link, Get more dictionaries online. Click the link and type Cornish.
Wow, that would be fantastic, and it’s a SWF dictionary too. However when I enter Cornish, or any other language such a German, nothing shows.
You can download it from extensions, CT Cornish Spell-Checker - SWF » Libreoffice Extensions
I installed it, restarted LibreOffice, created a paragraph style for test and the only word flagged from your sample was Monty
That is superb. Many thanks indeed. Monty is the name of my horse and not a Cornish word so it is correct it did not recognise it - Marghek koth means old horse rider (or old knight). Thanks once again.
