Somehow I changed my language preference to British...
 

...now my spell checker is giving me fits on words like "favor." (Which is showing red as I type.) I have gone to various tool boxes and they all say "English (US)." I've been in Word, my browsers. What did I do?

BTW, Pelican's checker is OK with how I typed this.

cheerio mate.

cheeky bugga!

Pip, pip!

Spot on! Good show I say!!

Watch out, you might get an urge to dress up in women's clothing....

Oi!

Spell checker in what application? Office/Word? Browser? Something else?

How does it want you to spell favor?

I found out it's OK in Word. I use Chrome and it wants "favour" and "moulding" and "behaviour." None of those words are shown misspelled as I type.

I Googled the issue and I got nothing. No US vs. UK. I see I can change my language preference in Google to "Elmer Fudd."

Maybe I should do that. ;)

My work is done, that's absolutely the correct solution!

Click the tool at the upper right. Go to: Options - Under the Hood

Under Web Content you will find Languages

I'm not sure if you need to look at English-US or US-English instead, possibly, of English or English-UK.

Here's another that may help. It includes a couple of partial screen caps.

Hey Zeke

I'd watch out for that Aussie thing if I were you. You might start saying things like "Fair Dinkum, Cobber"
