What happened to the spellcheck feature on the new Teams??

I have notice that the spell check seems to be broken on the new Teams version. The incorrectly spelled word still gets underlined in red, and a suggestion list populates as it used to, but the suggestions are ridiculous. A perfect example is the word "definitely".

    Here is an example I whipped up for a LinkedIn post.

    Same thing with standard English dictionary. It's like it want to pluralize everything. I've tried reinstalling teams clear the cache deleting the dictionary. Checked and re-checks all settings. I'm not using a web version, as well this is also across different computers. My desktop and laptop. I've been experiencing this problem/nightmare for about 2 months now.

    Yeah I agree, the spell check suggestions are ****, I've got Australian English selected but still gives me spelling mistakes and then gives me the wrong suggestion to add insult to injury...

    Shame I can't insert screenshots of how bad it is.

    I agree that the new Teams spell check is bloody awful! It cannot provide even simple fixes that Word / Powerpoint etc. do with ease. It is an embarrasment!

    Yep.. Australian English can't fix a simple typo now.

    If you mistype "don't" you'll get a plethora of incorrect fixes (don's, do's, dot) but not a simple replacement. This is an example if happens for any and every word that is recognised as incorrect.

    Seems to be isolated to Teams.

    Guess I better work on my typing accuracy!
