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. |

Spell checker in what application? Office/Word? Browser? Something else? How does it want you to spell favor?

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.

Check this out.
How do I use the spell-checker? - Google Chrome Help and/or this How do I change fonts, languages, and encodings in Google Chrome? - Google Chrome Help Specifically the "Browser Interface Language" or the "Webpage Language Preference". 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.
