Mac default dictionary thinks correctly spelled word is incorrect and recommends incorrect word
0
I am trying to diagnose and fix a spell check issue. I am on a US Mac (Mojave 10.4.3; $LANG = en_US.UTF-8). The spell-check mostly work fine, but:
- It thinks that "symbolizes" is a misspelled word. I think is a system-wide dictionary issue because it happens on many applications (TextEdit, Mail).
- "symoolizes" is listed as one of the suggestions.
How can I fix this? Thanks.
