English and E-goat.

[rest have risen above me]

Couldn't decide whether this was tech support or e-goat related or even "What Grips my ****"

Where are the spell check controls on e-goat?

I know that ILLBW will spell check anything you write anyway BUT I posted the word COLOUR on another thread and the red line of stupidity appeared below it.

Confused I typed in COLOR with no red line of stupidity. Now is there a control anywhere that places my English checker back in the realms of the commonwealth and not with our Johnny foreigner friends from across the Atlantic?DT_Xtremez_32: DT_Xtremez_15:

PS If it's somewhere obvious I'll draw a red line of stupidity under myselfDT_Xtremez_42:

I don't think its part of the forum as my computer does it on anything I type on the internet not just here, but it is American English not UK English, probably due to Microsoft being American.

What browser are you using?

I'm on firefox and it spell checks in american so I ignore it and spell colour the correct way!

Don't know what IE does though.

That'll be the problem then. Just tried them both and it seems that Firefox has an incorrect dictionary loaded. Now I must go to the computer support section and ask who knows how to sort it. Bloody Americans.... At least I didn't go with my first instinct which was to launch an all out slagging of the admins for not noticing the fact....lol...phew..

Thankyou insty66 always count on a fairy even if they obviously started on the wrong third of Avionics...DT_Xtremez_31:

In the message reply box, there is a button (top right) with an ABC and a tick, this is a spell checking button. I'm pretty sure you have to download the dictionary and the spell check software on your system, so won't work on an IGS machine.
I'm not sure if the dictionary for that is american, UK or user definable though, i'll give it a look when I get home.

Don't bother....

Go to - Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced Tab -> Choose Language button -> Pick English/United Kingdom [en-gb]

Hope it helps.

 

[rest have risen above me]

No... There's no preference option in the edit menu.
mmmmmmm

 

[tats]

No... There's no preference option in the edit menu.

Under Tools - Options - Advanced

 

[MingMong]

Try Tools > Internet Options then near the bottom of the general tab there is a languages option where you can add or remove languages.

I'm not sure if that affects the spell checker though.

 

[monobrow]

No... There's no preference option in the edit menu.
mmmmmmm

Linux, windows, you'd think both being FireFox they'd be the same.......

 

[rest have risen above me]

I've sussed it.
Firefox had installed Johnny Yankee doodle dandy rubbish.
It was in the Add ons bit I had to wander off to their website to get a copy of the Queens English.

And Now...


COLOUR

Please advise when you find the English english setup for Firefox; I hate spelling in Yank (took me a while to get Word to do it right).

 

[R_Squared]

You could always spell it in Klingon, apparently.
