Hi:
Yes, the "What is the language "British"?" thread has been a long
one,
but I, for one, have thoroughly enjoyed the break and the education.
Just proves most people prefer sharing to ranting.

You might have to do what I used to do with dictionaries not of my
locale: Spell check a document that I know is perfectly typed, and add
every word the spell checker complains about to the local dictionary.
That gets most of the problems out of the way in the first go.
While we are talking about specialized or personalized spellcheckers,
does any one know where I can get a computer language subsidiary
checker/dictionary. I want something that will let me write 'ls -a' or
'cd ~/homename/sprdshts/*' or 'googled' or M$-isms in a message without
turning my paragraph red with underlines.
