    And I never realized that different English is spoken in Canada and the US either. I always thought you spoke identical language!

    I believe that Australian & New Zealand English have some differences. There are enough differences between Australian English & British English to warrant a different dictionary.

    How about tinySpell, it is free and work with every program:

    http://tinyspell.numerit.com/

    I have the paid version, and it only cost me $10 USD.

    Try the free version, it even works in notepad.

    It has user dictionary, which can be used on different computers.

    I used the free version for about one year, then it is the best $10 USD, I have ever invested.

    Speckie only works with IE.

    TinySpell is global, it works with any Windows based app where you need to enter text.

    After using Speckie for a few days it is great. I tried TinySpell and didn't really care for it. It didn't seem to work, at least not the way I expected it to. It didn't seem to identify spelling errors until I put them in the clipboard, and then only one word out of an entire sentence of misspelled words.

    Ironically Speckie marks its own name as a misspelling. :ouch:

    I think I'll stick with Speckie in that case.

    LOL! Most spell checkers don't think 'spellchecker' is all one word. I think that there is a bloody good case for it to be one. :D

    That is because it is not one word. It is two words that IT professionals disgracefully decided to compound and to further corrupt an English language already contaminated by programmers and software companies. They appear determined to undermine linguistics and the correct use of grammar.

    (Something I feel very strongly about btw lol)

    i am using tinySpell+ at the moment.
    it works differently than ieSpell but it works.
    it's just a matter of getting used to the differences.

    Speckie is pretty good as well. :thumb:

    Well, grammar is essentially a convention anyway (see Fowler's Modern English Usage) & most of the rules of grammar were invented by eighteenth century grammarians who thought English was descended from Latin, it isn't, & applying the rules of Latin grammar to a Germanic language is a bit pointless. English as a language has constantly changed over a period of 1500 years, from its Frisian roots to the era of the Internet. Neologisms are developing all of the time.

    I think it can only add to the language ... maybe ... ;)
