Is it possible to swap to British English? I'm getting annoyed by how often I'm told "moulding" is wrong, amongst others. Including "amongst".

Spell checking is on your computer Mike
You need to enable the dictionary that you want in your browser

Mike, thats so easy even I can do it. :o :lol:

On the bottom task bar at the right hand side you have the symbol ; ENG
hover the mouse over it and instructions will appear. if you are using win 10 then ignore the instructions and just click the ENG.
It will show options and you just click ENGLISH (UNITED KINGDOM).
If that fails you on a certain word, you can highlight the word in question and right click scroll the options to "learn".

Does it have the option for Cypriot English, with such classics as "innit" and "Bruvz"? :lol:

Memzey! good to hear from you again. :D :lol:
I dont think even microsoft could cope with Cypriot English. I had to call the postman today to find out where my overdue shellac was. The reply was " I check, check you parcel call me".
So, to quote the song playing on the radio right now, should I stay or should i go? 8-) :eusa-whistle:

are you using Chrome?

if so that has a language function that overrides the PC I think.
top right hand corner is 3 dots, then click settings, advanced, language. it defaults to american english.

Internet explorer uses the windoze default.
