Anyone having troublr with spell check ?

OK, see how I just spelled TROUBLE in the header. I got a red squigle line underneath but when I "Right Clicked" on it to get the correction, the box comes up saying "no correction". This happens quite a bit.

But then sometimes it does give me a correction. Anyone else have this happening?

Ha! Found the problem. There are spell check settings. I turned off the AI option. Then I purposely misspelled 10 words in this post. Got the right correction on all of them.

the search engine is much smarter than any spell check. If I can't spell a word well enough to get the correct spelling on my spell check, I copy and paste it into the internet search engine. That usually comes up with the answer.
