Can't get the spell check to work with any language

[zinechant]

VSCode 1.10.2
Windows 10 x64 build 14393

I am sorry. It seems I just can't get it right.
Is this extension not supporting the latest version of VSCode?

I created a simple markdown file.

# Test
# iS the checc work?
Smees not
woefmwopfm\w
jwfeijeifwef
wefwfwfwefsvnin

But nothing (no marks) is showing up except the enable/disable button. I tried to change the language to Spanish. The .vscode and spell.json did get automatically created, but Spanish checking wasn't working either, i.e. still no marks or suggestions. Tried close and reopen, reloading the window, don't really help.

I checked the output tab as well, there is no corresponding tab for SpellChecker, git is working normally and generating output there though.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

This extension has had a large number of stability issues based on the availability of the underlying service. Today I published an update which points users to another extension for Spell Checking.

I'm closing the majority of issues as development on the extension has stopped. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused anyone, the good news is that there are better options out there now that don't require the service.
