It seems I have some aspell. Shall I download and try the dictionary:
 <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html>
 But I already tried it a few months ago, and it didn't work.

PIus, I do not know how  I would be switching between what is the default

same: ispell-program-name
NSSpellChecker
