Curious Spell Checker behavior
Periodically, my spell checker will flag isolated words as misspelled. The
words are accurately spelled, but for some reason, the spell checker uses a foreign dictionary (French or Spanish) for that word. When I manually change the language back to US English (my mother tongue) the squiggle disappears. The most recent episode flagged as misspelled several month names: June and September (both used French), but not April. Why? -- PT |
