Spell checker

[p3t3r]

Hello,

I use ubuntu on my computer, easy to use.

 

But on my works laptop it has windows 8.1 - difficult to use. It has an american spell checker. It is annoying. Already it has highlighted the words ubunto and american. American spell checker insists on me wanting to capitalise word American. But it does not insist on me wanting to capitalise the words united or kingdom. This is biased! It also shows me that the word capitalise is wrong. The correct would be capitalize.

 

 

All I want to do is to turn this spell checker off. I don't want to change settings to English, I just want it off. The red underlined text annoys me whenever I see it.

 

How do I turn off??????? Thanks in advance!

Go to control panel in Windows and there should be the language (sometimes includes clock) option, where you can change it to United Kingdom English. But it may be the actual individual program settings you have to change. When you download a program it will ask you the language and within properties or option there should be a tick box to untick to stop the spellcheck working.

If it is a works laptop the IT dept might have locked it down to prevent user changes.
