My control setting is British English yet when I use correct spelling, it always red lines it and wants to see incorrect American spelling.
WHY?

Nope, its the CEO. All of my keyboard setting have American English banned from them.
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.

Well, quite seriously (and this gets bashed about every few months or so), they don't. They speak American, or 'Murican as other posters refer to it. Call it American English if you like, but ... no.

My Brit spelling setting does not trigger the first word "labor" as wrong but caught the other two words.
