    This is the problem... look at center, why the hell do we (the brits) spell it centre?

    Anyway, you can change the dictionary quite easily.

    Yes, funnily enough English was a language before reaching America and becoming bastardized.

    Excuse my rudeness, but it is one of those questions that the rolleyes smiley was created for.

    To make it work:

    Tools - Language - Set Langauage - English (U.K.)
    I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.

    using a z was the only way we could figure out to bastardize the word bastardised.
