[OS X TeX] TeXShop, Cocoaspell, and MacOS 10.13.2

[Murray Eisenberg]

I’m also running TeXShop 3.95 and MacTeX-2017 under macOS 10.13.2. 

After your steps a) and b), when I go to the TeXShop Preferences > Source tab, in the Dictionary pull-down menu, I do NOT see English (United States) [w_accents], although I do see English (United States).

What’s wrong?
