So my preferred language is English (UK), but whenever I use the editor it keeps trying to correct me to American English. While this isn't a massive issue, I don't like being told I'm wrong, so the red lines grate on my soul.

Is there a way to switch languages? Is it my browser or the editor? I'm sure I've just missed something really quite obvious, but thought I'd toss it into Newbie Central just to see if someone had the answer.

Try this: go up to the top of the text box, where it's got all the options for bold, italic, etc.  Find the abc dropdown and disable SCAYT.

Okay, here's a mega stupid question; is Canadian English the same as UK?

Yeah, they’re always spelling words with an extra “u” and insisting on pronouncing “z” as “zed.”

Ay! That's bloody wrong! On my honour, Brits spell things the exact bloody same and use the exact same bloody words. My face is coloured red because of this post.

As an Aussie I can tell you that you'll get used to the red lines after a while (;;)

ABC button above the writing box, language, then Candian English. No more red lines for us what spell proper ;)
