I've had it load the wrong dictionary, surprisingly, yeah (I keep en-us and en-jp handy). It's a classic case of Apple abandoning macOS like they have for multiple releases now. ;P

There are bugs for NSSpellChecker going back as far as 2009 regarding automatic language detection (they're, however, now annoying as piss to link to... because all the old mailing lists/archives have been seemingly nuked. Thanks, Cocoa community!). This in turn hits Electron apps, since they're just passing back to the native API anyway.

Fair enough.

For reference I was referring to Linux where Chromium and my DE all have their dictionaries set up correctly. I only ever seem to have this problem with Electron apps too. It's very annoying though.
