Be careful with this, though. If you have multiple flavours of English selected in '''Set up''', you '''do not''' want to select '''Automatic by language''' in the '''Spelling''' pull down. This will effectively mean that OS X will "pass" any spelling, so long as it's ''either'' British, American, Canadian or Australian. And that's not helpful to this wiki. So, if you choose to enable more than one stripe of English, '''make sure''' that you go to the '''Spelling''' pull down and select '''British English''' while you're editing our site. | |||
