It has to be said, I'm a very good girl when it comes to using the spell checker. However I've noticed a couple of times there are a few words that are spelled differently.
eg : Colours - colors
Realised - Realized

Any one else notice this?
If so how do I put it right, it's really bugging me!!
Thanks!

It must be set to US English.

I can't use a spell checker in Firefox... unless someone can tell me different lol!

So how do I set it to "English English"?

Go to the Control Panel (press start,settings, control panel). Click on Regional and Language options and there should be a drop-down menu on the box to change it to Uk english. Have fun!

I am glad that you asked this, as mine is also in US English and I can't for the life of me work out how to change it.

BTW just incase any of you think that I missed the post above me I can't find the region/language drop down

I've found spell checker for Mozilla Firefox, I'm going to do a seperate thread about it

Goodo... thanks Sandi x

Rachel, try this instead:
To change the language used for menus and dialog boxes

1. Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
2. On the Languages tab, under Language used in menus and dialogs, click the language you want. (If all that comes up is a box marked 'details', click on that and you may be able to change it from there)

Notes

• To open Regional and Language Options, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.

An alternative: on the bottom bar of my computer (the one where the start button is) on the right hand side by clock, there is a little dark grey button with EN on it - don't know if yours has the same. If you click on that it brings up the language bar and you can change it from there.

If you still can't do it let me know what version of Windows you're using and I'll ask my husband - he's a computer geek!

Mine says it's already in UK English..........how weird!

mine's the same Jules, spells everything us but says its English arrh


the best one is brisa it tells me i should be spelling bras !!

In that case, I'm lost then. You can add words to the dictionary on the spell checker though, so that may help. When it comes up with what it thinks is a wrong spelling but which is actually the word that you want, click on the 'add' button. Hope that makes sense!
