Crystal ball says you have aspell on your PATH before ispell, while
your dictionaries are set for ispell.  To see this, type this inside
Emacs:

  M-: ispell-program-name RET

If the above guess is correct, then either install the en_US
dictionary for aspell, or modify your PATH so that ispell is found
before aspell.
