Why are so many common words now being flagged as misspelt in Thunderbird?
Composing an email using words like... freezer, previously, months, only, etc., and checking spelling as I type now results in them being underlined as if they're spelt incorrectly. This is a recent change and is most frustrating.

Thank you for your reply. Before reading it I hadn't downloaded any dictionaries - I didn't realise this was necessary. I'd always thought a dictionary was present and used by default. However I have now done so. I also just updated TB from 60.4.0 to 60.5.0. On restarting TB, the problem has apparently been resolved. Am I right in thinking that downloading a dictionary would only take effect when TB is restarted? If not, then I can only assume that the new release (60.5.0) has fixed the issue. How can I confirm which dictionaries TB is using?
