Canadian orgers!: I have a tech question

How in the fuck do I change my computer's built-in dictionary (you know, the deal that points out spelling mistakes outside of Word documents) from that jacked up and barely literate American setting to a Canadian one?

I'm getting a bit tired of the ol' desk machine giving me shit for daring to spell words like neighbour, favourite, and cheque correctly.

How come famous isn't spelled famos in USA btw

Those aren't spelled correctly tough. That's what you're dictionary is trying to point out.

I saw the use of "gotten" instead of "received" on CNN this morning.

I know in MacOSX...U go to system prefrences>international>language>edit list...

and it takes U to a LOOOONG list instead of the abbreviated list in the first Language pane. Included are British English AS WELL as Canadian English. Click the boxes on those or whichever U like and apply and save or whatever, then restart your computer and they'll be available for selection.


I'm SURE there's something similar in Windows. I go hop on the windows machine to figure out for ya.

I had to switch to Canadian setting when speaking with Sammi form time to time for various reasons. It also makes shortcuts for those crazy accents y'all have on everything...like the ' and that crazy c y'all got.

But you don't go to the thea-tra or get to the cen-tra of a Tootsie Pop. They are pronounced thea-TER and cen-TER for a reason.

Is Canada really a country though? It always seems like an Annex of England or France to me.

Yeah! And that spell check would be in German if it wasn't for us American spellers!

Just kidding. Just stirring shit up.

You'll never win that way. Their pronunciation is all messed up too. I mean, "a-boot"? As in, what's that all a-boot? It's just a mess up there.
