Anyone else find that spell check very often does not suggest the obvious word when a something is misspelled?

Spellcheck will often offer multiple alternatives but NOT the correct one, which may be just one or two letters off from the misspelling. This is so basic to the function of MS Word that I can't understand why it is so bad.

Does anyone know why this is? Is there any hope that AI will help improve spellcheck in the future? Is there any solution today?
