When I first checked out OOwriter, I found that a default language
had yet to be set. Curious. So I set it US English. Spell checking
still wasn't working.

I checked if MySpell was installed. Sure enough, but Canadian
English. WTF?! I didn't do that. So I installed US en package. 
Still didn't work.

So I uninstalled the Canadian English--bingo! Spell checking is
working. I wonder if others have experienced the same thing?
