Howdy,

I assume you are using Apple's spell checker and also have Edit->Check Spelling As You Type checked. You can install the CocoAspell package and set that up as your spell checker of choice since it understands (La)TeX commands or turn off Check Spelling As You Type (I do both). If you wish to turn off Check Spell As You Type you can also uncheck TeXShop->Preferences->Source->Editor->Check Spelling which turns it off by default; you can turn it on for individual documents via the menu item mentioned above.

Good Luck,
