How to enable Spell-check on Apple Notes (Mac OS)?

Hi! I have issues enabling spellcheck on my Macbook and iMac on my Apple Notes app. I cannot enable the Check Spelling While Typing option when I go to Notes>Edit>Spelling and Grammar. If I select it, it closes the Edit tab but does not change any settings. I have also tried going to Settings>Keyboard but couldn't find any options there either. I tried using Safe Mode to see if that helped, but it didn't work either.

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

Hi! It doesn't do anything if I select Check Document Now despite highlighting the text (and there were typos in the text).


I am only having this issue with the Notes app because on Pages, I clicked Edit>Spelling and Grammar, and when I selected Check Spelling While Typing, a checkmark appeared next to it.
