Spell Check is not suggesting correct words.

Hello,


My Spell Check is not giving me correct suggestions for almost every mistake I make. This seems to be a problem for a coworker of mine too. For example, when we misspelled Nomination as Nomation, the only suggestions are Novation and Notation. This is a recent development, as it usually works and gives me the proper suggestions. Is this a recent update?

You could try going to system preferences keyboard -text and un checking ( correct spelling automatically).Then restart and recheck the box. Also you could change the language from automatic to US English. https://macreports.com/why-wont-spell-check-work-on-mac-how-to-fix-common-issues/
