Re: [libreoffice-users] LibO 5.1.1.1: Spell Check not recognising plurals

I live in Canada, but I set up LibreOffice to use Spanish dictionary as 
the default language for all documents. The only setting I changed was :
'Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > Default Languages for 
documents : Spanish' The rest of the settings I left as-is.

I am new to LibreOffice and my experience might be unique to me.
Please consider the possibility that you might have a buggy download or 
that a glitch might have occurred at the time of the installation.
I truly hope that I was able to help you.
