I chose language: ENGLISH. Obviously, because I am English, speak English, and live in England. We invented it.
So what does it do? It screws up all my typing and keeps on correcting everything into Americanese. Which plainly isn't English! So I have to scroll around the menus and languages to find British English! Why, English IS Englands language!
Installed it. It still thinks everything should be spelled wrong... So now its underlining about 1/3rd my words, and auto changing some and making it half Americanised.
Why isn't simple English, ENGLISH?
American English should be called American English! Surely that's logical and simple enough?
While they were at it, they confused everybody with all the place names (copied from guess where). And took all the imperial measurements. But did them wrong (or differently) to the English. A gallon, or a Pint in the US is smaller... Then they decided to go metric. But only part way. So my US built van has BOTH imperial and metric fasteners and bearings... What gives!
I have the opposite problem, it keeps trying to make my stuff into Brit - don't you folks know that the metal is Aluminum and there is no U in color? (among many other such things....)
