American spelling ARGHHHHHHHHH

[Gary E]

Whilst I don't claim to be the worlds best spellist I do know that color has a 'u' in it!

How do I stop the spell check from turning my English ramblings into American gibberish?

(and why don't we have a smiley for shrugging?)

I don't know about IE but using Firefox you can download a British dictionary extension and move between spell checkers with a right-hand click. I think it remains on the last dictionary you used.

I only get this problem on CC so I was hoping there was just a setting on the site that I've missed?

Bugger. I just realised (not realized!) that I've just changed over to Google Chrome and hadn't altered the settings

Sorry guys

I've just learnt you can change the language settings in Google Chrome, thank you Gary E, that had been getting on my threepenny bits for ages. I'm a big boy I am

I'm glad that this thread has had some use other than just my public humiliation
