MacOS Messages spellcheck not working

I'm not sure why my Messages won't spell check anymore.... it will underline mis-spelled words with the red squiggle, but when I right click to change to the suggested word, it never offers up the alternate spelling... just gives me normal right-click options. (Please see screenshot)


Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks! This box was checked... but unchecking it and rechecking it seems to have solved it!
