Default How to copy Autocorrect English GB to Autocorrect English US?

I did wonder about that but now it makes sense. The 1033 version is
installed as base and fallback for all Englishes, and a 2057 (or whatever
else) is created from it when needed.

I suspect that all you need to do is rename MSO2057.acl as MSO1033.acl
(after deleting or renaming MSO1033.acl as something else first). It works
for me and I can't see any reason why it shouldn't but I have no supporting
evidence.

Ah, okay. I knew the lexicon was the same for all versions of English, but
evidently the .acl file is not.

UK English uses a 2057.acl - although it may be based on the 1033
originally.

I believe both UK and US English use the 1033.acl file, so there

should
be
no issue here. See
