I lived in the US of A for seven years and finally gave up trying to teach my red neck, Blue Ridge Mountain, Old Dominion workforce how to speak, read and write English. A total lost cause.

Re: English vs American Spelling
So we have a bastardised/barstardized spell checker.
Note that both spellings of the word Barstardised are in the Oxford English dictionary yet both get red lined on CEO.
Is this an attempt to introduce a CEO English dictionary?
Today the dictionary, tomorrow the world. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Re: English vs American Spelling
I'd give your system setting one more check - mine is running an image from a local supplier of, err, images and is defaulted to American English ('Murican) which I hadn't bothered to change, CEO is set to British English, but the CEO spell checker seems to default to the system language.

Bit too complicated for now as the missus says I have to get changed and go out and dig up some potatoes and cut some courgettes. She is using the excuse of an injured hand to get out of her daily tasks.

Re: English vs American Spelling
LoL. Surely that spell checker that underlines your faulty words in RED is either your system or your browser checker, right? I also get an option to save some words it marks as 'wrong.' Surely those get saved in my browser or computer, and not on CEO, right?StroppyChops wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 4:54 pmYou have other people to worry about the small details, oh Mighty Rabbit.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 4:50 pmWe have a spell checker on CEO?

Re: English vs American Spelling
Well that pisses me off. I cannot blame CEO but don't expect an apology, that's a sign of weakness, right? All hail the Gonk.
It turned out to be the VPN I was using through Opera browser and while using the VPN, it won't let me change the settings.
Also my back hurts after digging up 2 rows of potatoes.
