How do I disable automatic hyphen correction in OS X 10.7?

When using the spell checker in Apple Mail it is always prompting to correct my hyphens to another one which is essentially similar but microns longer on the screen for some reason.

It's annoying as I often use hyphens and really need spell check too. Thoughts?

I looked in all the usual System Preferences places but can't find anything.
