So the new updated Firefox has this new amazing built in tool where it automatically spell checks while you are typing. A nice little underline shows up when you've made a mistake.
My only issue is that the spell checker obviously has a US dictionary built in, because I still spell everything the British way. And so anytime I do spell a word the English way, an underline keeps popping up.
No insult to my American friends, but I've spent so many years spelling words such as colour, favourite, cheque, honour to change my habits now. I wish there was a British dictionary option on this new update. I hate it when the computer keeps telling me that I am spelling things wrong. I keep having to check to make sure that I am not.
Update: Woo hoo! It's nice having a techy knight in shining armour in the house. Once he saw the entry, he looked into it and installed the necessary dictionary. Hmm....I wonder what would happen if I complained about other stuff online....like cleaning the toilet?

check the preferences... they might have an engligh english [non american] dictionary - and/or you might be able to point it to one already on your computer [or find one??]
Thanks Lisa! Boy looked into it and fixed it. More reasons to like him....
