I have saved (repeatedly in existing and new blank documents) all my settings 
to English, US.  However, my spell checker is marking everything in red.  
When I look at it, the spell check suggests spanish spelling of the words.  
The spell checker says Spanish, US.  I go back, all setting say English.  
Default language is set to English.  I don't know what else to try.  

Make sure to turn off the "Detect language automatically" option in Review tab | 
Set Language. Note that once the language has changed in a document, you may 
have to select the whole document and manually apply the correct one by using 
the Language dialog box.
