Enable spell checker by default

Reported by freshene...@gmail.com, Jan 19 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install chrome fresh
2. Type in some input in a website

What is the expected behavior?
It should spell check your crappy spelling

What went wrong?
Its not enabled by default, so you have to go find it in the settings to enable it. Who doesn't want spell check on?

Did this work before? Yes 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.3
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

There are two settings with respect to spelling check in Chrome://settings one is under privacy and one under chrome://settings/languages. 

 fresheneesz@ please let me know where you had enabled the settings to understand the issue, Since I see that the settings under chrome://settings/languages is checked by default.

The one I had to enable is in "Language and input settings..." called "Enable spell checking". I'm 100% sure I never turned it off - it just didn't work from when I first installed chrome a few weeks ago (after factory resetting my computer).
This is on windows 8.1

fresheneez@: Were you by any chance logged in to Chrome?

It is enabled by default, but it is also a synced preference - so if you have turned it off elsewhere, it will end up turned off for any fresh install. 
I was. I've never intended to turn it off on any machine, but maybe I did at some point by mistake?

If you make a fresh chrome install and do not sign in, does spellcheck end up turned on or turned off?
