GUEST,Songbob	BS: Language Pet Peeves (2488* d)	RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves	05 Oct 10
If I'm not mistaken, some software packages allow the user to choose 'British English' vs. 'American English' for their documents. But what I haven't seen so far is an Operating System with the same choices. Perhaps those choices are there when you install the damned thing, I don't know. In any case, you could type 'colour' in Word and have it right, but in a chat room (or on the Mudcat, for that matter) it gets flagged as incorrect. Someone needs to invent a universal "universe setting," that applies language rules to all the content, no matter the source. Now that would be handy! Bob
