    Spelling Language

    Right, is it this site that's set to American spelling, or my browser? I've checked in the Firefox settings but there's only a 'Check my Spelling' tickbox, not a choice of languages. PC regional settings are all set to UK as well.

    This is really grinding my gears. I know I could just switch off 'Check my spelling', but I'm stubborn. British spelling for British sites!

    Re: Spelling Language

    UK dictionary is selected for me in Chromium 17 and Firefox 8...

    Colour, aluminium and all that.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Ah, found it. You need to right-click in the typing box, then 'Languages', then 'Add dictionaries'.

    Physician, heal thyself...
