Spell Check in Apple Mail not working

The automatic spell checking in Mail is not working (it works great in Pages and Numbers where mispellings are underlined as I type).


I do have system settings set to make it check spelling as well as the settings within Mail.


I'm running 12.1 on a MacBook Pro 2021.


For that matter, it's also not spell checking in Notes as well.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.1

I solved it. I had installed and then deleted Grammarly and though I deleted it, it left the system spell check preferences partially off. On another thread, someone posted a brief command line text which I pasted into Terminal. That fixed the problem.
