macOS has had system-wide spell checking since 2009.

Windows 10 has spell check, as does Windows 11. In Windows 11 it's Settings/Time and Language/Typing. It works in Notepad. Not sure why Notepad needs its own.

 You can't imagine when an app to take notes...
 ...in ENGLISH (or whatever language the user requires)...
 ...would need a spell chacker.
 The whole point is that to date, Notepad hasn't been able to USE the system wide spellchecker, Liarboy.

In my defense I don't think I ever used Notepad to create a document. I did use Wordpad a few times and it did spellcheck. I also used Notepad to view text documents and never needed spellcheck for those.
BTW, what's a spell chacker? (I note that chacker is a spelling error caught by the MS system-wide spellcheck and highlighted in Thunderbird. Did your beloved Mac not catch that? LOL at you Liarboy)
