   When I write a post certain words are underlined in red. This usually happens when I correctly spell a word in UK English that has a different spelling in American English.
   How can I alter this to accept UK spellings and query any other spellings?

   Is this too difficult? Or have I left out some vital information? Perhaps there is no answer to this question. But I find that hard to believe.

   Are you sure that it's WordPress that's checking the spelling? I've had a look through & can't find anywhere for the spell checking language.
   Have you recently upgraded to Firefox 2? That includes a spell checker - which gives you red dotted lines. (You can change it to UK English, if you didn't download British English in the first place).
   I've an idea that Google Bar in IE does as well, though I can't remember how it indicates misspelled words.

   Well spotted. You are absolutely right, it's not WP but Firefox. And I've changed the defaults and solved the problem. Thanks very much for your help.
