Jack ~ It tells me that selecting the Union Jack in preference to the Stars&Stripes in the menu bar will select English spellings. But when I spell something in English, it underlines it as an error. So I repeat, for all your saying -- IT IS NOT DOING WHAT IT SEZ ON THE TIN. It shouldn't have to 'read my mind', for heaven's sake ~~ it should know what is in my mind from the option I have chosen, according to its own instructions.
