Description
### Expected
I would expect when I make a spelling mistake, the app will help me auto-correct it (or at least show a red dotted line underneath the wrong word). This was working in the previous version of the app - 1.2.11.
### Observed
Nothing happens when I made a spelling mistake on the notes, even if I didn't capitalize the first character of the first word of the line.
### Reproduced
**Note:** The issue was originally reported in 3424081-zen for the Windows app but I'm able to replicate this on https://app.simplenote.com.
1. Log in to Simplenote app at https://app.simplenote.com/
2. Create a new note
3. Type a wrong word, e.g. contry
4. See that the app does nothing with the wrong word.
I would expect the word to be automatically corrected as `Country`, capitalized and spelling corrected.
