Liz, you got me. Here in Oz, Micro$oft seem to believe that US English is universal (and that Aus English is the same as US English) which, because I'm old enough to have received a good education with some appreciation of classics, gets up my nose a bit. Turning off the auto chell speck is a start but rooting out the dictionaries is the only thing that works. And then I'm on my own, and any cockups are my own fault.
