InDesign 15.1.1 English dictionary missing plural word spellings
Since the update every plural word version is not in the dictionary. Simple, basic words like 'years' and 'days' now show as a spelling error. It was working fine before the latest update. Get it fixed - it's pointless having the spellchecker when so many basic words are missing!

This is still an issue - December 2020. Or is there a workaround?

Still not fixed - it's not even consistent in picking out the same word in the same para - screengrab attached
Please get we even get a response - this is making Adobe look unprofessional.

Still not fixed, what a nightmare. Useless, time to look for some alternatives.

Absolutely unbelievable. Though to be fair, Adobe tirelessly work in some basic functionality bug every single yet.

When is this going to be fixed?
I'm spell checking large reports and this is very time consuming.
Really hope its fixed soon

I'm having the same issue. Also, every time I use the spellchecker; InDesign crashes. Completely disappears. Brochure/Book/Magazine publishing has become virtually useless in InDesign with this bug

I am also finding plurals are consistently being flagged as spelling errors. Any fixes yet, Adobe?

Any update please, or any response at all? This is costing us time and effort going to press every week.

Yes, please update us. I have tried changing the dictionary preferences from Hunspell to Proximity, and I am now being told words that are spelled correctly are now incorrect... words that were not picked up under Hunspell settings.
Also, I have just accidentally clicked 'Flag idea as inappropriate'. SORRY! Obviously, there is nothing inappropriate about it!

I cannot believe this bug exists. A powerful platform that is meant to elevate content and design, holds you back and drags you down by not understanding the simple concept of a PLURAL... Ridiculous.

Btw. the Czech dictionary Winsoft is completely broken in CC2020: it marks all words starting with lower case letter as wrong and recommends capitalising ALL words. Unfortunately the Winsoft dictionary is the only option as both Hunspell and Proximity are really bad. I will log a separate bug.

As a workaround, you can go to Preferences > Dictionary and change the Spelling dropdown from Hunspell to Proximity. Plurals then won't come up as being misspelled.
