Spelling

[Lutin]

Is it me or is the site using US English?

I've checked that my browser (Firefox) is using English spelling, so why is the forum complaining when I spell tyre or colour, but not tire or color??

By complaining, I mean sticking a red line underneath the correctly (for UK English) spelt word.

can't you change your preferences with your firefox

This is one of the better educated bike sites. The spelling on some of the others is atro atroc atros atrocio...... bloody terrible.

My particular niggle at the moment is the number of people that use their 'breaks' to slow down and complain that things 'brake' when they stop working.

Also people who have received a 'summonds' from the rozzers.

Oh yeah and the ones who have got a 'puncher'. This is not, as I first thought, a small boxer in the cupboard under the stairs, but a nail in their tyre.

I'm off to lie down in a darkened room.

Fine, I'll have to beat Firefox into shape then!

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Very good.


This is driving me nuts! I've installed the latest pukka English-GB version of Firefox and I'm still being shown spelling errors!!!!

However, on my laptop that is running the En-us version of firefox, the English spellings are OK.

Just what the heck is going on??

Confused!

Right click on the word underlined, at the bottom of that menu is languages and look at what language you are using. If you do not have English/United Kingdom, the add language and choose it.
