Word 2016 - Check Spelling Without Checking Grammar

In Word 2016, how do I check spelling without checking grammar?

I am virtually never interested in checking the grammar of my documents. When I look in the Review pane, I only find the choice Spelling & Grammar – no alternative to check spelling only.

I have tried to to disable the option Check grammar with spelling but that doesn’t help.

You need to go to File -> Options -> Proofing -> When correcting spelling and grammar in Word and uncheck Mark grammar errors as you type and Check grammar with spelling. You also should click Settings... from Writing Style and uncheck everything in the box you do not want to see corrected.
