The default spelling behavior has been changed in version 2.0 -- see
changelog http://aquamacs.org/download.shtml#changelog .  The built-in OS X
spellchecker will now be used by default, unless you customize Aquamacs to
use ispell or aspell (via variable ispell-program-name).  You can check
what's being used by looking at the *Messages* buffer after you do M-x
ispell-buffer; in my case I see
Spell-checking test.txt using NSSpellChecker with en dictionary...

It sounds as though you may be spellchecking with a non-english dictionary.
If you want to stick with built-in OS X spellchecking ("NSSpellChecker"),
use ispell-change-dictionary or Cmd-: (A-S-;) to change the dictionary being
used.
