Why is the UK Spell Checker used on USA web site?
I learned to spell "honor, rumor, humor, pediatrician, and anesthesia" as spelled here. I am on the US site. Why are all of these words flagged by the spell-checker? On my site it is the ill-mannered Spell Checker that is in error!
I am on the "United States" site, and all of the above words get red-lined till I change to British spelling! Maybe the checker was installed prior to 1776...
