This new "Mozilla Firefox tells me how to spell" is REALLY bugging me.

It is all American spelling.

I had NO idea how many words we spell differently until I got this little feature.

It will always be favour and humour and licence and zed.

Got it yanks?

Yeah yanks doesn't get underlined, that's a REAL word.

Oh wait, it is, like she yanks their chains.

Oh and while we are at it, Thanksgiving is in October.

Spelling... I wish I knew how to spell... my Canadian has been completely destroyed by the spell checkers and my basic wordsmithing went out the window at the same time.

Seems to me there's an option somewhere to change your spellcheck so that it's using the Queen's English.

(Apparently, spellcheck isn't a real word, according to the spellcheck...)

Here you go:

Go to the tools pull down menu, select options, and at the bottom part of the general tab is "Languages" section.

Click the Choose button.

Click on the Select a language to add pull-down bar at the bottom of the window, and find English/Canada option.

Click the add button. Now click the Move Up button until the English/Canada option is at the top. Click OK.

Hope it helps!
