I see so much anti-American sentiment on here when mentioning American cable/sat systems etc, so WHY HAVE WE GOT A YANKEE SPELL CHECKER?

Can someone change it to British English please? Really annoys me, I hate AmericaniSed language.

Problem solved. All you have to do is get a wife(or a similar figure of intelligence)

madrat · 24-04-09, 12:55 AM

Or just go into the spell check and set it for UK English

Yes, I use the plugin for Firefox as well.

I use the British English Firefox plugin, but it's full of Americaneze - do you know a better one than the v1.19 British English that's available from Firefox add-ins?
