Mind you, Jack, I am an obstinate old sod, and, for all your well-meant attempts to help me in a dilemma, I must reiterate that I don't think you quite got my point. First, I wasn't complaining of being in a dilemma as I was not inconvenienced -- all that happened was that squiggly red lines appeared under some words but didn't delete them so I was able just to go on merrily anyhow. BUT these lines should not have been there in the first place, because a default English·English, that was promised 'on the tin', so I shouldn't have had even to think of SystemPrefs or reprogammings or whatever, JUST DIDN'T MATERIALISE. You can say that isn't a systems fault all you like, because it can't read my mind: in this instance I had told it what was in my mind by the method itself had demanded, but it still refused to read it.

That was an operational fault, or a design fault, or some sort of a fault, say what you will.

Best regards
