Spell check and autocorrect not working on my MacBook Pro

Just bought my MacBook Pro a few month ago and everything worked fine but since yesterday, it doesn't do the spell check on my Touch bar. How to get it working again?

MAB, Mac OS X (10.5)

Mac check spelling not working The "check spelling while typing" and "correct spelling automatically" options under "Edit"-"Spelling and Grammar" menu cannot be toggled on or off for my Notes, Mail and supposedly some other apps. Normally if I click one of the options, a tick should appear or disappear to the left of the option title. But apparently I cannot toggle on or off these two options for Notes and Mail app at all, i.e. when I click the options nothing would happen, and these two functions would not work for these two apps either. However the check spelling for Pages, Keynotes, Numbers etc and other apps would work normally, and can be toggled on and off. I tried restarting the apps, resetting autocorrect for the whole Mac in System Preferences, restarting the Mac, and tried some Terminal codes from the Internet, but none would work. Apparently I have not encountered a similar situation on the forum either. I'm on MacOS Monterey by the way. This problem has been there for like about a year already. Please help guys. Thanks.

Cannot select spell check suggestion I've been having an issue where I cannot correct the spelling of a word. Apple recognizes a word is misspelt (red underline). I click on the word with a two-finger press, and It shows 1 or more suggestions. But, I'm not able to select any of the suggestions. Instead, all of the suggests are greyed out. Oddly enough.. I've found if I wait a few minutes and try again, I'm able to click the suggested word. I've had this issue a long time, probably since Big Sur, maybe before. Curious if anyone has any suggestions... Currently: Ventura Mac air M1

Turn spell check back on after Grammarly Desktop turned it off Grammarly for Desktops turns off the red lines that macOS puts under mispelled words. If you uninstall Grammarly, it doesn't turn that system function back on, so now if I mispell a a word in somehting like the Mail app, there is no red line. It still seems to be spell checking, it's just not marking the words. I have spell check turned on in System Preferences>Keyboard. I have turned it on in all apps that allow you to do so, but still no red lines. How do I turn the red lines for mispelled words back on please?
