Dying spell check in gmail

The frustration of a dying spell check in Gmail!

Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to try and get your spell check working again:

  1. Check your browser settings: Ensure that your browser is set to use the correct language and region. You can do this by going to your browser's settings or preferences and checking the language and region settings.
  2. Disable and re-enable spell check: Try disabling spell check in your Gmail settings and then re-enabling it. To do this:
    • Log in to your Gmail account.
    • Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
    • Scroll down to the "General" tab.
    • Look for the "Spell checking" option and toggle it off.
    • Save your changes.
    • Go back to the "General" tab and toggle the "Spell checking" option back on.
    • Save your changes again.
  3. Clear browser cache and cookies: Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can sometimes resolve issues with spell check. To do this:
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or Command + Shift + Delete (Mac) to open the browser's settings.
    • Select "Clear browsing data" or "Clear cookies and site data."
    • Make sure to select the "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files" options.
    • Click "Clear data" to confirm.
  4. Check for browser extensions: Some browser extensions can interfere with spell check. Try disabling any extensions that you think might be causing the issue. You can do this by:
    • Going to your browser's extensions page.
    • Clicking on the "Disable" button next to each extension.
    • Re-enabling the extensions one by one to see if the issue persists.
  5. Try a different browser: If none of the above steps work, try using a different browser to see if the issue is browser-specific. You can also try using the Gmail app on your mobile device to see if the issue persists.
  6. Contact Google support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact Google support for further assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue or provide additional guidance.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with your dying spell check in Gmail!
