The following tutorial applies to OS X Lion (10.7), but the fundamentals have been present in the OS X structure for a while. Some very slight modification of this tutorial will help you spell check in British English regardless of your OS X flavour. | The following tutorial applies to OS X Lion (10.7), but the fundamentals have been present in the OS X structure for a while.

== What this tutorial covers == | |||
This is a tutorial about how to quickly change your ''global'', OS-level spelling settings. There ''are'' ways to change spell checking within individual, non-Apple programs such as Firefox and Microsoft Word, but this tutorial will not cover such methods. | |||
What is offered here is a way to make one simple setting change that affects most ''everything'' on your computer. Note that if you have taken steps to alter spell checking within individual programs, this tutorial may produce unexpected results, or have no effect at all, within those individual programs. | |||
'''It is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to make changes at the program level.''' Your life will be much simpler if you stick with altering the OS X settings, instead. | |||
