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".

    So, I found changing the language in TEAMS s to English (Canada) does a much better job of giving the correct spelling...it's not perfect but it's light years better than the others.

    Wow, like night and day. I grew up north of Canada, so I guess I will just use English (Canada) from now on.

    Wow. That's helpful (albeit strange) information.
    Thanks!

    I have the same experience. Also glad to know it's not just me, but it needs fixin'! Should use the same spell check engine as office apps.

    I switched to the Canadian English and it is marginally better -- but still an embarrassment and quite a productivity drain for someone who relies on spell-checkers to help them.
