My spell checker in the browser is checking British instead of US English
My spell checker in the browser is checking British English instead of US English. (LibreOffice however is checking US English.) I've been using Mozilla as the browser so I checked the preferences and US English is selected. (see screenshot) Anybody know what might be happening? Thanks.
What you are showing is your preferences for your browser's language. The spelling is a different matter.
By default, firefox has spelling enable for any entry box where you can type more that one line, like when you post in this forum.
Right click on the box to write and you'll see languages as an option on the menu. Make sure it is what you want. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...+spell+checker
