Change the spell check default language
Authored by: starwxrwx on Sep 18, '03 12:49:44AM

I found when I changed to "British English" it no longer recognised the US spelling (tested on the word "centre/center")

Also, any words I had added to the "English" dictionary were not recognised any longer... this makes sense, but perhaps it would be more useful to be able to assign a "custom" dictionary based on a copy of English or British English to keep my own strange mix of spellings (including strange words like subsubsection for latex loving...)

Also, being able to delete words from the dictionary would be useful, since Learn and Ignore Spelling are just a slip-and-click apart.

Also, changing the dictionary in an application wont change it in any others until you quit them all and relaunch (understandably, but good to know).
