Lost the ability to spell check on all applications

I recently updated my system to Mavericks 10.9.4, since then I have lost the ability for spell checking in all applications. Check spelling while I type is not working and I am unable to check spelling manually through the app menus. Skype, Facebook, Notepad.. you name it, spelling correction functionality is no bueno. Has anyone ever heard of this? I have tried changing languages, booting in safe mode... the only thing I did notice was that the box to check "correct spelling automatically" won't stay checked, but clearly something else is wrong.
