Nothing gets me any results. I've tried dozens if not hundreds of words on my iMac over the past few months. Spell check works on the iPad.

That latter feature, the suggestions is a key for me because I often don't know how to spell the word correctly. I have terrible spelling because I'm dyslexic. I recently bought an iMac and have found that the Mac OS has a spell checker built-in, but it doesn't offer any suggestions. Whenever I control-click a flagged word, it just says "no guesses found." Is that how it is supposed to work or can this be fixed?
